Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
G’day, Rusty here. I’ve been staring at Little Avalon for the next couple weeks, and I’ll tell ya straight—it starts flat, has one proper day, then fades into nothing.
Right now, there’s no surf to speak of. From Saturday the 4th through Monday the 6th of July, we’ve got tiny waves from 0.6ft to 1ft, with poor conditions across the board. Don’t bother.
Things finally kick off on Tuesday the 7th of July. The morning brings a 2ft swell from the SE with a long 13-second period and offshore wind from the SSW. The combined energy is moderate at 178. It’s surfable but very ordinary. Then Tuesday afternoon the swell jumps to 10ft from the SE at 11 seconds—that’s a massive combined energy of 1703—but the wind is cross-off and conditions are marginal. Over 8ft, that’s big stuff, only for advanced crew.
The true standout is Wednesday morning, the 8th of July. We’ve got an 8ft swell from the SE at 11 seconds, clean offshore wind from the SSW, and combined energy of 1499. The report says it’s excellent for experienced surfers. This is the session to aim for. Water temp is 67°F, about 2°F above average—noticeably warm for this time of year.
After that, it drops hard. Wednesday arvo goes to 3ft with cross-off wind. Thursday the 9th is 2ft in the morning with a gentle offshore, but it’s not great.
From Friday the 10th all the way through to Sunday the 19th, it’s mostly flat or tiny. There’s a small bump on Saturday the 11th—a 5ft SE swell in the morning with moderate energy (471) and cross-off wind—but it’s only marginal. The rest of that week is dead.
So here’s the takeaway: make your move on Wednesday morning, the 8th of July, at Little Avalon, if you’ve got the skills. Everything else in this 16-day window is either flat or not worth the wet suit. Forecasts can change, so don’t lose hope, but right now it’s a one-shot deal.
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.
