Spot info
- Town: Avoca Beach, Central Coast
- Water: Sea
- Sports: Surf
- Best wind directions: WNW
Avoca Beach is a small seaside village on the Central Coast of New South Wales, roughly 90 minutes' drive north of Sydney, with a 1.5-kilometre beach between the rocks of North Avoca and the headland at the southern end. Avoca Lagoon meets the sea at the northern part of the beach, and its entrance is usually closed by a sand bar. The beach faces east and works on most swell from the north-east to the south-east. The best-known wave is the right-hand point at the southern end, which can produce long rides on a solid south-east or east swell but becomes crowded quickly; the beach-break peaks to the north are more forgiving and suit beginners and intermediates on smaller days. Westerly and north-westerly winds blow offshore. The southern corner is also partly sheltered from southerly wind, which gives surfers an option when other Central Coast beaches are blown out. Avoca has a surf life saving club and a patrolled area in season. See the live wind and swell forecast below.
