The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll level with you. This 16-day stretch for Little Avalon is a flat, quiet one. We’ve got a long run from Friday the 24th of July all the way through the end of the month where the swell barely shows up. The waves are under 2 feet, the period is short, and the energy is in the single digits. That’s a good week of nothing much.
The first real sign of life comes on Sunday the 2nd of August. It bumps up to about 2 feet from the SE, with a little more period, but the wind is cross-onshore and the energy is still weak (79). It’s not exactly surfable, just a bit more water moving around.
The only window that’s even worth mentioning is the afternoon of Friday the 7th of August. The swell is about 3 feet from the NE, and the wind goes glassy. The report calls it “surfable but very ordinary,” and that’s the peak—scoring a 1 out of 10. The energy sits at 87. It’s far from pumping, but if you’re desperate, you could find a couple of slow, soft rollers in the dead of summer.
This kind of dry spell happens at Little Avalon. The morning winds are often clean and offshore, but the ocean just isn’t cooperating right now. It won’t stay this way forever—forecasts shift.

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.
