The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the menu for Little Avalon.
First thing’s first, we’re in a real dry spell. From right now, Thursday the 23rd of July, all the way through to the 2nd of August, it’s flat. More than a week of nothing worth paddling for. The swell is tiny, under 2 feet most days, and the energy is barely there. You’re looking at combined energy readings in the single digits – that’s weak.
The only real pulse of hope arrives on Tuesday the 4th of August. That morning we get a chunk of swell from the southeast, pushing 6 feet. The combined energy jumps up to 396, which is solid. That’s the best size we’ll see. But the wind is a cross-onshore from the east at 9 mph, which is going to mess up the surface. It’s a shame, because the swell has some size, but it’s a short period of 8 seconds, so it’s not that powerful groundswell. Expect a bumpy, choppy ride. The water temp is around 65°, which is pretty average for this time of year.
The days after that, the 5th and 6th of August, keep some size around 4 feet with moderate energy (190-225), but again, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore. It’s rideable, but it’s not going to be clean. The swell is coming from the ESE and SE, which is a bit off the ideal NE direction for this spot.
So, there’s no real standout session. The 4th of August morning has the most size, but the conditions are poor. If you’re really itching, you might get a few lumpy ones, but don’t get your hopes up.
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.
