The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty again.
Honest truth: this 16-day stretch is a total bust. Waves are tiny – from about 0.6 ft up to maybe 3 ft at the absolute best, and that’s being generous. The combined swell energy never hits triple digits – numbers like 22, 16, 10, even down to 8 – so there’s no power.
Sunday the 30th: 1 ft in the morning, 1 ft in the afternoon out of the southeast at 8 seconds, cross to cross-onshore wind. Nasty little closeout slop. Monday the 31st has a glassy window in the afternoon (southwest wind at 3 mph), but it’s still 1 ft of 8-second nothing.
Tuesday the 1st of September starts glassy (southeast 3 mph), but 1 ft at 7 seconds – total flatness. Wednesday the 2nd gives a little lift: 2 ft from the southeast with an 11-second period in the morning, clean offshore NNW at 3 mph, but swell energy is just 79 – still poor surf. Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th have glassy or clean moments but the swell is only 1 ft, with period dropping. You could stand on it.
Saturday the 5th offers clean cross-offshore from the NNE (6 mph) but only 1 ft from the east. Sunday the 6th turns onshore – southeast wind right in your face, 2 ft swell but with a period of 5 seconds. That’s just windblown chop. The following week into September 7th through the 12th gives clean offshore breezes (WNW 15-22 mph, proper offshore) but swell stays a puny 0.6 to 1 ft from the south-southeast with periods down to 6 seconds. No wave to ride.
Then Sunday the 13th of September shows a tiny blip: 3 ft from the SSW, glassy in the morning, but the period is only 4 seconds – junky, messy windswell. The energy (25 and 38) says it all. Monday the 14th closes with onshore flow and light rain, 1 ft from the southeast.
Sixteen days and zero options. Avalon 15th Street (New Jersey) is the only break. For a spot that’s fairly exposed, this is a desert. Water temp is nothing unusual. Crowds are “sometimes” an issue but it won’t matter – nobody’s out there. It’s a beginner-friendly wave normally, but not today.
If you absolutely need to get wet, the cleanest moments are Wednesday morning the 2nd (2 ft, 11 seconds, offshore) or the glassy mornings on Friday the 4th and Tuesday the 8th. The week from the 6th to the 12th is a long lull. The last few days have good offshore wind – Friday the 11th with NW wind at 22 mph – but the swell is too small even for a kite. Save your energy.
Rusty.

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.
