Table - best surf conditions forecast for Little Avalon over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for Little Avalon over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, we’ve got a bit of a slow start with not a lot to get excited about. The first real chance at anything decent won’t show up until Saturday the 20th of July, and even then it’s a marginal call. Before that, we’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, or flat conditions from now through to Friday the 19th. The energy just isn’t there.
The real standout window, and the one to keep your eye on, is Monday the 21st of July into Tuesday the 22nd. That Tuesday morning is looking like the pick of the whole outlook. We’ve got a clean 5 ft swell from the east, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate at 403, and with a gentle offshore breeze from the south-southeast, it’s gonna be clean. That’s a proper little session for the advanced crew out at this exposed reef break. Just a heads-up, the optimum swell direction is from the northeast, so this east swell isn’t a perfect match, but it’s still got enough grunt.
Before that, on Monday the 20th of July, we see a pulse of bigger energy. The morning shows a 5 ft swell from the east-northeast, with a period of 10 seconds, and combined wave energy is strong at 840. That’s a solid size, but it’s a cross-shore wind from the north-northwest, and conditions are described as marginal with questionable tide. Not ideal, and the afternoon turns onshore and choppy. Definitely a day for the experienced only if you’re keen, but the quality is not there.
After that Tuesday morning peak, things drop off again pretty quickly. Wednesday the 22nd into the end of the month is mostly small, weak surf with occasional clean conditions, but nothing worth writing home about. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
Bottom line: if you want the best of what’s on offer, pencil in the morning of Tuesday the 21st of July. That’s your window. The rest is mostly small and ordinary, with a couple of days that are better for a beach stroll than a paddle.
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.
