Additional Information
There is a parking area at the southern end of Avoca that looks over the point. Parking can be hard to get in the summer months.
Atmosphere
Avoca Point doesn't break all that often, but is a fun wave when it does break. It does tend to get crowded, especially on weekends, but the vibe out there is pretty cruisy. Drop-ins do occur but I've found that if you call people off the wave early they tend to back off. Locals will snake you, But if you push deeper thy will respect you.
General
I like Avoca Point because it is a fun wave and has a nice rip that runs you straight out the back.
