The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, lookin' at Little Avalon over the next couple weeks. Gotta be honest, it’s a real slow start for this spot. The first week is mostly flat with tiny, poor surf, so don’t bother paddling out until we get past the 9th.

The water’s sitting at 64°, which is dead average for this time of year – no weird anomalies there.

We start Monday the 3rd with a 3ft swell from the SE, but it’s cross-on and messy. The energy is weak (248), and it’s just poor. Tuesday the 4th is even worse, with 1.0ft glassy conditions but nothing to ride. The whole first week, from the 3rd to the 8th, is a total dud – waves under 2ft, mostly onshore or cross-off, with a few glassy moments but no power.

The energy picks up a bit on Sunday the 9th with a 4ft NE windswell, but it’s a short 6-second period and the wind is a messy cross-on at 12 mph. The combined energy is moderate (152), but it’s gonna be choppy. Not the day.

The real standout is Monday the 10th of August. We’ve got clear skies, a clean 3ft swell from the ENE, and a proper offshore wind from the WSW at 16 mph. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s not a groundswell, but it’ll be clean and surfable. The energy is moderate (100). That afternoon the wind drops to a gentle offshore, so it’s the best window of the whole run. The swell direction is from the ENE, which is not the optimum NE, but with the wind so clean, it’ll give you a few good ones.

Wednesday the 12th afternoon shows a 4ft bump, but it’s a terrible 4-second period, so it’s just choppy junk. Energy is weak (53). Skip it.

Thursday the 13th morning has a 3ft swell from the NE with a clean offshore wind, and the energy is moderate (132). Another decent session, but still small.

After the 14th, it drops back to 1.0ft to 2ft, with the odd clean session but no power. The 18th Tuesday morning is glassy with a 2ft swell, but it’s not enough.

So, the best bet is Monday the 10th of August at Little Avalon. It’s an advanced reef, and it’s ‘often’ busy, but in this small swell, it’ll be quiet. The swell is 3ft from the ENE with a 9-second period, and the offshore wind gives you clean lines. The energy is moderate (100). It’s not a big day, but it’s the only real call.

The second week is mostly tiny, so don’t expect much. For beginners, the swell never gets over 5ft, so it’s safe, but there’s hardly anything to catch.

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.
