The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Little Avalon over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I'm looking at the charts and it's a bit of a tough one for us. The whole 16-day window is pretty flat. We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves that just won't get the blood pumping. The water temp is sitting around 65°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so at least the rubber won't be too thick.
For the first week, from Tuesday, the 28th of July right through to Sunday, the 2nd of August, it’s a story of nothing doing. Swell heights are barely a ripple, mostly around 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft. The combined energy is basically non-existent, with values like 16 and 8 (weak energy). The wind is all over the place, but there's no wave to work with. We see a little glassy spell on Saturday morning the 1st of August, with a WNW breeze, but even then the swell is just 0.7 ft. It's a total write-off for a paddle.
The second week doesn't offer any real relief either. From Monday the 3rd of August onwards, we get a tiny bump of energy, but it's still not surfable. The biggest swell we see is 2 ft on the 9th of August, with a combined energy of 84 (weak energy), but the wind is a cross-onshore from the ENE. The swell direction is ESE, which is not the optimum NE direction for this spot. We're looking at a lot of "unknown" wave states and onshore winds, making it a messy, blown-out affair. The best we see for consistency is a "very consistent" reef break, but it doesn't matter if there's no swell.
So, there's simply no standout, no hidden gem, nothing to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is a flat spell with no recommendations. It's one of those periods where the forecast can change, but for now, the board stays in the garage. If you're desperate, the setup might be more interesting for a kite than a surfboard given the onshore winds and tiny, weak waves.
Rusty.

Information about the Little Avalon Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Little Avalon provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Little Avalon can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Little Avalon 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 (Little Avalon) 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 Little Avalon 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.
