The Lowdown
Alright, surf’s up… or, well, it’s not really, is it? Let me level with you. Looking at Little Avalon (Australia) over the next couple of weeks, and it’s a bit of a flat spell. There are no good surf options in the 16-day window. The swell energy is just too weak and disorganized, and the directions aren't lining up for this reef.
The first few days, we're talking tiny, short-period leftovers—nothing with any push. Sunday the 6th has a little bump but it's messy and weak. The water temp is sitting at 65°F with the anomaly at 0.4°F, so pretty much average for this time of year, nothing crazy there.
We’re looking at a solid run of days with minimal surf. There’s a slight pulse around Wednesday the 9th, but the swell is from the SE at a measly 0.3ft to 0.7ft with a period around 8 to 13 seconds. It’s clean with some offshore wind, but it’s just not enough to do anything on a reef like this. The combined energy is in the single digits and low teens, which is about as weak as it gets.
The following week doesn't offer any hope either. We see a few small pulses, like on Monday the 14th and the 20th, with a bit more size, but it's still under 3ft and the period is short and jumbled. There's one little bump on the 13th with 3ft from the NE, but that period is only 4 seconds—that's just wind chop, not surf. It'd be a complete close-out.
Honestly, for this stretch, the paddle-out might be more of a workout than a reward. Given the lack of swell, the strong winds, and the exposed nature of this spot, on a few of these days, it might look more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. It’s just that kind of stretch.
But listen, the forecast can change. It’s a long window, and these flat spells don't last forever. I’d keep an eye on things, but don't plan a surf trip around it.

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.
