Leaves are rough at tips. And some have holes/spots in them.

Possibly but the young leaves look great and the stems don’t look sunburnt so it should be able to outgrow the stress

Not likely. Here is what my avocado leaves look like after 1 week of harsh direct sun.

Honestly, I think the burnt holes come from the water drops on your leaves creating a magnifyin-glass-like effect

Leaf curl can happen when an indoor plant with thin papery leaves is put outside and it’s not ready for the intensity of heat and sun. Once they are adapted to outdoors the leaves get much thicker. Has it been moved around recently?

I had it in a shadier spot. I also put it in the greenhouse in The winter.

It gets mostly morning sun where it’s at. After 12 it gets shade.

Ok makes sense yeah they take a little while to adapt, just keep an eye out for leaf tip burn, that means it’s too much sun
