Avoca Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let’s have a look at what’s coming up for the local lineup. We’re at Avoca Point, a beach and point setup, exposed to the east swell. The water’s sitting at about 66°F right now, which is pretty much normal for this time of year—nothing to write home about, just your standard summer warmth.

Right off the bat, Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st are a write-off. Monday afternoon has a 5ft east swell but it’s onshore, messy, with moderate wave energy (738) and a marginal score. Tuesday’s no better—smaller, wind-affected junk. You’re better off staying on the sand those days.

Wednesday the 22nd morning is where it gets interesting. We’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the east-northeast, light offshore wind from the west, and the wave energy is moderate (226). It’s small but clean, a fun little session for a log or a fish. Not a standout, but a nice start.

The first real standout is Friday the 24th afternoon. Glassy conditions, a 5ft south swell, period around 9 seconds, and strong moderate wave energy (403). That’s gonna be clean, lined-up, and super fun. The morning’s also good with offshore wind and a 5ft south swell (461). That whole day is your best bet in the first week. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so get in early.

Saturday the 25th has a bigger 5ft south swell, but it’s a long-period groundswell at 12 seconds, which can make it a bit straight at beach breaks. It’s better suited for the point here. The morning has cross-offshore wind and solid moderate energy (547). It’s a good call, but the wind strengthens in the afternoon (19 mph), so morning is key.

Sunday the 26th morning is clean with a 4ft south swell, 11-second period, and solid moderate energy (419). Another decent morning session.

After that, the swell backs off through the start of the week. Monday the 27th is small and ordinary, and Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th are tiny—1ft or less, with weak energy. Not worth paddling out.

Then we get a pulse around Thursday the 30th: 6ft south swell, moderate energy (976), but the wind is cross-shore and a bit messy. It’s marginal, but there’s size. Friday the 31st afternoon cleans up nicely with offshore wind and a 4ft south swell—that’s a solid small-wave option.

Now, the real standout of this whole 16-day window? It’s Tuesday the 4th of August morning. You’ve got a 8ft south-southeast swell with a 11-second period, strong wave energy (1871), and light offshore wind. That’s big, clean, and powerful. Not for beginners—this is strictly for experienced surfers only. The point should handle the size well. The afternoon holds 8ft with light cross-shore wind, still excellent for the crew who know what they’re doing.

So, if you’re picking one day, it’s that Tuesday the 4th. But Friday the 24th is your cleanest, most accessible standout for the average surfer.

That’s the outlook. Stay stoked.
Rusty.
