Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve had a good look at what’s coming up for Avoca Point.
Right off the bat, we’ve got some serious size rolling in, but it’s not for everyone. The early part of the week is pumping but way too powerful for the average punter. The first real standout is a ways off, on Thursday morning, July 9th. That’s where the magic happens. The swell drops to a manageable and clean 5ft from the SSE, and the wind goes glassy – absolute perfection. The combined energy is still solid at (786), so there's plenty of push, but it won’t be a washing machine. This is the one to circle on your calendar.
The run-up to that is heavy. Monday afternoon, July 6th kicks off with a thumping 10ft SSE swell (1508 energy) and a fresh cross-off breeze. It’s clean, but at that size, this beach and point setup is strictly for the experienced crew. Same story rolls into Tuesday, July 7th – we’re looking at 10ft to 12ft SE swells, with energy peaking at a massive (2591) by Tuesday afternoon. The wind stays cross-off, but it’s howling at 19 mph. This is big, raw ocean. Not a beginner’s playground.
We get a little respite Wednesday, July 8th, but it’s marginal – 8ft dropping to 8ft with a cross-off breeze, but the forecast isn’t singing about quality. Then we hit that glassy Thursday I mentioned. That 5ft SSE swell with zero wind is the gold standard. Friday, July 10th, is also worth a paddle, with 5ft SE swell and glassy conditions again in the afternoon, plus a lighter cross-off in the morning. Solid.
The weekend fades out. Saturday, July 11th is small and average, and by Sunday, July 12th, we’re down to under 3 feet. The whole of the following week looks flat or very ordinary, with a few knee-high days of 3ft swell and clean but weak conditions. A bit of a dead spell.
But hold on – there’s a long-range promise that has me pacing. On Friday, July 17th, a solid 7ft S groundswell (991 energy) rolls in with a light offshore breeze in the morning. That’s a proper pulse, and if the forecast holds, it’ll be a beauty. The next day, Saturday, July 18th, still has 5ft SSE swell, but the wind goes cross-on, killing the vibe.
Then, for the brave, Tuesday, July 21st serves up a monster: a 13ft S swell with an incredible (4357) energy reading. It’s clean with a fresh cross-off, but honestly, that is only for the elite. Massive and powerful.
So, to sum it up: the clear winner is Thursday morning, July 9th at Avoca Point – glassy, clean, and a solid 5ft SSE swell. The water’s sitting at about 66°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. Get in there.

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.
