The Lowdown
Rusty here again, doing it in feet and miles for you.
Right now it’s pretty quiet and that quiet sticks around for a while. Every single entry for the next stretch mentions poor surf conditions, so we’re in a flat spell plain and simple. No big swell on the horizon, and nothing to take a day off for.
Sunday the 26th: weak SE swell at around 1ft, period at 8 seconds – combined energy is low at 41. A light cross-on from the SSE at 6 mph keeps things bumpy. Monday 27th: size stays at 1ft, but the wind picks up to 12 mph in the afternoon from the S, turning it choppy. Tuesday 28th is still small and now the wind is onshore or cross-on, with thunderstorm risk.
Wednesday 29th and Thursday 30th at least see a clean window: swell around 2–3ft from the SSE, morning offshore winds from the WNW/NNW at 9 mph. Combined energy sits around 57–69 – still weak. Those mornings are the pick of the first week, but with that small size you’d be on a longboard or a foiler.
Friday 31st of July morning is the best of this first stretch. Swell hits around 3ft from the ENE with a period of 7 seconds, combined energy climbs to 113. Light NNE breeze at 9 mph, cross-off and clean – you could scratch out a few turns. Afternoon the wind shifts and the swell drops back to 3ft.
Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd of August get messy again with small swell under 2ft, cross-on winds up to 12–19 mph, and more thunderstorm risk. Period stays short at 6–7 seconds.
Monday 3rd to Wednesday 5th of August stays the same story: S to SSE swell around 2–3ft. Cleaner mornings with light offshore winds on Monday 3rd and Tuesday 4th, but the energy is very low. Don’t expect anything punchy.
Thursday 6th to Sunday 9th is almost flat – swell drops to below 1ft at times from the east, with combined energy in the teens. Barely a ripple. Monday 10th of August shows a slight bump to about 2–3ft from the S/SSW with a period of only 4–5 seconds. It’s glazy and clean in the morning but still tiny.
There’s no standout window in this whole 16-day look. No groundswell energy, no proper conditions, and no decent size. The afternoons with stronger wind and lumpy cross-on conditions might be fun if you’re on a kite, but for a regular paddle surfer this is a waiting game. Forecasts often change here – it’s not usually this quiet for long, so stay hopeful and keep checking.
Rusty.

Information about the Avalon 15th Street Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Avalon 15th Street provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Avalon 15th Street can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Avalon 15th Street surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Avalon 15th Street) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Avalon 15th Street may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
