The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in the old units.
The first half of the 16-day window is a total dud. From Thursday, August 6th, through Monday, August 17th, there’s a long stretch of flat, unrideable surf. Swell heights are mostly under 2 feet, with weak combined energy readings from 5 up to 60 – that’s basically nothing. Winds are often cross or light cross-off, with a few glassy moments, but there’s just no wave power. Avalon 15th Street is the only spot in the mix, and it’s not showing a thing. It’s a real dry spell.
Then, Tuesday, August 18th, things perk up. The morning brings 3 feet of south swell, short period around 5 seconds, with light cross-off wind. Still poor, but the energy creeps to 59. Then Tuesday afternoon is the real standout. Swell pushes to 4 feet from the south, period 6 seconds, and we get clean offshore northwest wind at 16 mph. The combined energy hits 120 (moderate). That’s the best window of the whole forecast. Clean conditions, a bit of size, but it’s a short-period swell so it’ll be a little soft and fast.
Wednesday, August 19th, keeps some clean offshore wind and 3 feet of south swell, energy at 99 (weak to moderate), but it fades through the afternoon. By Thursday, August 21st, it’s back to tiny junk and onshore wind.
Water temperature at Avalon 15th Street is about average for this time of year – nothing unusual.
Standout: The afternoon of Tuesday, August 18th. Swell 4 feet south, offshore wind, moderate energy. That’s the one to get excited about. Short period, so don’t expect long rides, but it’ll be clean and punchy.
Rusty.

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.
