The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Avalon 15th Street over the next couple weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first week and a half is pretty bleak. From Monday the 24th of August all the way through to Monday the 31st of August, we’re looking at a real flat spell. The swell’s barely a ripple, mostly around 1ft to 1ft from the SE, and the energies are weak as dishwater. Sure, we get some clean windows – Wednesday the 26th morning is dead glassy with zero wind, and Saturday the 29th morning is glassy too – but there’s just not enough juice to push a surfboard. It’s a paddler’s paradise and nothin’ else. That’s a solid 8-day stretch of nothin’ worth paddling for.

Now we start seein’ a flicker of life as we head into September. Tuesday morning, the 1st of September, the energy creeps up to moderate with a clean 2ft SE swell and a nice 15-second period. That’s a long-period groundswell, which will mean better shaped waves, but at this size it’s still small. Winds are cross-off from the NNE, so clean. “Surfable but ordinary” is the call – a bit better than the pure flat we’ve had. Wednesday the 2nd morning holds similar small clean 2ft surf, no complaints from me if you’re on a longboard.

The real standout, the one that finally gets me talkin’, is Thursday the 3rd of September afternoon. We get a solid SE groundswell pushing 3ft at 14 seconds. The energy jumps to strong, and best of all, it’s got NNW offshore wind crankin’ at 9 mph. That’s clean, groomed faces – the break will be lookin’ proper. This is the best on offer in the whole outlook. It’s still beginner-friendly at 3ft, but with that period and offshore wind, there will be some fun ones. Good energy and a nice direction.

Friday the 4th morning keeps it going with 2ft from the ESE and clean, but it’s a step down. And Saturday the 5th of September morning bumps back up to 3ft from the E – that’s another really solid window. Cross-off winds from the SW keep it clean. That Saturday morning is your second best bet, for sure.

After that, it’s back to junk – small, short-period windswell and onshore gunk from Sunday the 6th onward.

As for the water, it’s your typical late-summer temp. Nothin’ mentioned about any anomaly, so I’d say it’s about average for the time of year here.

So, what’s the call? For the first 8 days, leave the board in the car. Wednesday the 2nd morning is a small clean possibility. But if you want the best waves in the whole run, pencil in Thursday the 3rd of September afternoon. Offshore wind, solid SE groundswell, 3ft. That’s the one.

Friday the 4th morning and Saturday the 5th morning are your next best, with clean conditions and small but surfable swell. The Saturday morning session got the nod with a good 3ft E swell and clean conditions.

Crowds at Avalon 15th Street? It says “sometimes” – so you might have company, but it’s not a flat-out zoo.

Alright, I’m done. Get out there when it’s worth it.
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.
