The Lowdown

Righto, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Avoca Point has got cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks.

The first bit of worthwhile surf shows up on Saturday, August 1st. We've got a solid 5ft swell rollin' in from the SSE, with a period of 9 seconds. The wave energy is moderate at 396, and the wind's a light cross-offshore, so the sets are gonna be clean. The water temp is 65°, which is about average for this time of year. It's a good, honest Saturday morning session. Saturday afternoon looks even better – the wind goes glassy, and the swell drops a touch to 5ft, but it'll be real smooth.

Sunday, August 2nd, starts to get a bit messy. The swell is still around 5ft from the SSE, but the wind swings onshore in the afternoon, and it's gonna be a choppy one. The early morning might be a bit of a fight with a cross-on breeze. The energy is up there at 716, but the wind is gonna ruin it.

Monday, August 3rd, the swell drops right off to 3ft, and the wind is cross-shore, making for some bumpy, unappealing little waves. Not worth the paddle out.

We then hit a proper flat spell. There's a gap from Tuesday, August 4th, all the way through to Wednesday, August 5th, with nothing but tiny, wind-affected junk. The swell barely cracks 2ft, and the energy is pathetically weak – down in the double digits. You'd be better off at the pub.

Then, after that dry spell, Thursday, August 6th, gives us a bit of hope. The morning has a clean 5ft swell from the S with a light cross-off wind. The energy is back up to 295. The afternoon gets a bit bigger at 6ft, but the wind turns onshore, so it's a morning-only mission.

Friday, August 7th, is a real standout. The morning is absolutely glassy, with a 5ft S swell. The wind is dead calm. This is the kind of session you dream about – no ripples, just pure, clean lines. Get out there early. The afternoon gets ruined by an onshore breeze.

Saturday, August 8th, is another one for the early birds. The wind is glassy again in the morning, with a 4ft S swell. It's not as big as Friday, but it'll be real clean again. The afternoon is a write-off with strong onshore winds.

The surf then goes quiet again from Sunday, August 9th, through to Tuesday, August 11th. Mostly tiny, weak waves with poor wind. There's a bit of a 3ft swell on Tuesday morning, but it's pretty ordinary.

We've got a long lull until we hit the next proper event. The forecast shows a big, long-period swell arriving on the 15th of August. The Saturday morning of the 15th has a 3ft swell from the SSE with a *very* long period of 21 seconds. The energy is massive at 1008, but the wind is cross-on. This is a very long-period groundswell, which can be a bit tricky at a beach-and-point break like Avoca Point – it might break a bit too straight. Still, it's a big energy event. The Saturday afternoon gets choppy, and the Sunday morning of the 16th has a 4ft S swell with a 14-second period and 1115 energy, but the wind is again cross-on.

The real standout for the entire forecast has to be the Friday, August 7th, morning session. The glassy conditions, combined with a solid 5ft S swell, make it the pick of the bunch. The Saturday, August 1st, morning is a close second, with clean conditions and a little more size. The long-period swell mid-month is interesting, but the wind is a bit of a gamble.

Rusty.

Information about the Avoca Point Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Avoca Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Avoca Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Avoca Point surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Avoca Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Avoca Point may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
