The Lowdown
Alright, let’s chat about Avalon 15th Street. I’ll be honest with you, it’s looking pretty dead out there for a while. The water is sitting at 78°, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year—almost three and a half degrees above average. That’s the only strange thing going on.
For the next several days, the surf is totally flat or just a tiny ripple. We’re talking waves less than 2 ft, with combined energy so weak it’s barely a blip (33). The wind is mostly side or onshore, and the swell is coming from the east or southeast with short periods, so it’s weak and messy.
There’s a bit of a bump trying to show up on Wednesday afternoon, September 9th, with a 4 ft swell from the south, but the period is a super short 5 seconds. That’s windswell, not groundswell, and the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph, making it choppy and lumpy. Score is a zero. Not worth paddling out.
Thursday morning, September 10th, cleans up with a moderate westerly cross-offshore wind, and the swell is 3 ft from the south-southwest, still a short 5-second period. The combined energy is a bit better at 68, but it’s still weak. It’ll be clean, but the waves are going to be small and weak.
The rest of the week into the second week is a rinse and repeat of tiny, weak swells. There’s a moment on Wednesday, September 16th afternoon, where we get a 2 ft swell from the east-northeast with a gentle offshore wind from the north-northwest. That’s clean, but the swell is tiny and the period is only 4 seconds.
We get a little spike in combined energy on Tuesday, September 22nd afternoon, hitting 126, which is moderate, and a 3 ft swell from the east-northeast. But the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, and the period is still short at 7 seconds. It’s messy and the wave quality is poor.
Honestly, there’s no standout session in this 16-day window. The whole period is plagued by tiny swells, short periods, and less-than-ideal wind. For a beginner spot, this is flat and frustrating. The few moments of clean wind are wasted on waves that are barely ankle-high. This is a real quiet stretch for Avalon 15th Street.
