About Avalon Point
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NW (301°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (121°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 350 m out (1 in 34). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 18°C in August, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 22°C in January, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually February, March and April, with about 2 good days in 7; in July, about 0. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Nearest beds: Mandurah, 10 km (about 20 min by car). Nearest airport: Perth International Airport (PER), 79 km. Within 5 km we also list 4 surf spots.
Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
