Avellanas Rivermouth Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking at Avellanas Rivermouth.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but don’t write the week off just yet. The first few days are a mixed bag with some small, long-period groundswell from the SW, but the conditions are tricky. The water is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

The best action in the early part of the week looks like Friday afternoon, the 21st of August. The wind drops to glassy, dead calm, and we’ve got a 4 ft S swell pulsing in with an 11-second period. The combined energy is moderate (435), and with those clean, glassy conditions, it’s going to be a fun little session. It’s a sandbar setup, so it’s fairly consistent, but with those clean conditions, the crowds will likely be out.

Moving into the end of the month and into early September, the real standout is shaping up to be Saturday afternoon, the 29th of August. The swell is building to 4 ft from the SW, with a nice 16-second period, pushing the combined energy into strong territory (1028). The wind is glassy, and the forecast is calling for excellent conditions for experienced surfers. This is a long-period groundswell, which will be working magic at this rivermouth, offering up some proper shape. It’s the best on offer in the entire outlook, but remember, it’s a week and a half out, so it’s promising but not locked in.

After that, into the first couple of days of September, we see a drop in swell size but the window stays open. The Tuesday afternoon, the 1st of September and Wednesday afternoon, the 2nd of September both show clean, cross-off winds with SW swell around 3 ft to 4 ft, and the energy stays moderate (534 to 651). These are worth keeping an eye on for a solid, clean afternoon session.

So, overall, it’s a slow start, but the end of the month and the start of September have some real gems. The 29th of August is the one to circle on the calendar.

Stay stoked,
Rusty
