The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a grim run for the next fortnight. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. We’re looking at a long, dry gap with nothing worth paddling out for.
From Monday the 7th right through to Saturday the 19th of September, it’s a total bust. Waves are tiny, mostly 0.7ft to 2ft, and even when a little bump shows up, the period is short or the wind is junk. The combined swell energy barely cracks 60 (weak) for most of that time, and on the 18th afternoon it jumps to 124 (moderate) but it’s a messy 4ft, 5-second wind swell with cross-shore chop – that’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing. No quality, no consistency.
The only flicker of life comes on Saturday the 19th morning at Little Avalon. This is a reef break for advanced surfers only. You’ll see a 2ft swell from the SE with a 9-second period, and the wind is offshore from the SW at 9 mph, which cleans it right up. The combined energy is 72 (weak), and the water temp is 65° with a 0.4° anomaly – about average for this time of year. But it’s small, inconsistent, and the score is barely surfable. Don’t get excited.
Then from the 20th through the 22nd, it’s back to nothing – 1ft to 3ft of short-period slop with onshore or cross-on winds. The 22nd morning has glassy conditions with 3ft from the NE at 8 seconds and 82 energy (weak), but it’s ordinary at best.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. The whole stretch is a blank run. It’s normal for this area to go quiet, but forecasts can change – keep an eye on the charts.
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.
