The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Avoca Point over the next couple of weeks. It’s a slow burner, but there are a few windows that’ll get you wet.
First up, nothing to write home about. Monday morning the 27th sees a small S swell at 4ft with a 9-second period, glassy conditions – combined energy is 216, so weak. That fades fast. Tuesday drops to ankle-snappers, and Wednesday is flat – barely 0.3ft with a 17-second period and energy at 13. So we’ve got a few days of nothing.
Then Thursday the 30th of July kicks off properly. S swell builds to 6ft in the morning with 10-second period, offshore SW wind at 9 mph – clean lines, moderate energy at 687. By afternoon, it’s 7ft (energy 1492), still clean with a cross-off wind – now that’s for experienced surfers. Friday the 31st is the standout: 7ft in the morning, 11-second period, offshore wind, energy at 1031 – powerful, clean S groundswell, the best of the whole run. Saturday the 1st of August holds 5ft with moderate offshore wind, clean and fun. Sunday the 2nd drops to 4ft, glassy morning – nice for a relaxed paddle.
After that, it turns patchy. Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th are small and blown out. Wednesday the 5th offers 3ft with light offshore wind – surfable. From Thursday the 6th to Saturday the 8th, it’s rainy, windy, and short-period. The 8th has 8ft E swell but messy with cross-off wind – energy spiking to 1825, but more for kite surfers than paddlers. Sunday the 9th sees 6ft E swell with offshore wind – clean, energy 445. Into the second week, Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th have 6ft E swell but tricky winds – marginal.
Best on offer: Friday 31st July morning – 7ft of S swell, 11 seconds, offshore wind, clean and powerful. Thursday 30th also a great option if you want slightly smaller. The run from Thursday to Sunday next week is your sweet spot. After that, it’s a gamble with wind and showers.
Water temp is 65°F – about average for the season. Crowds can show up sometimes, so expect company on the good days.
Get out there when it’s clean.
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.
