The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Avalon 15th Street.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’ve got a long, dry spell to start. From now through the end of August and into the first couple days of September, it’s pretty much flat or tiny with no quality to speak of. You’re looking at a solid week or more of nothing worth paddling out for. The energy is weak, with combined swell energy values barely cracking 20-30 (20 to 96). The water temp is sitting at 77°F, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the swim is nice.
Now, the first real glimmer of hope shows up on Thursday the 3rd of September. That morning, the easterly swell bumps up to 6ft, with a period of 7 seconds. The energy jumps to 640 (strong to very strong), and we’ve got a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE at 6 mph. That’s clean. But heads up – this is a short-period swell, so it won’t have that grunty, lined-up feel. Still, it’s the first surfable wave in a long time. It’s a bit much for beginners at that size, but solid for anyone with a bit of experience. Crowds are possible here, so expect some company.
The standout, though, is Saturday the 5th of September. The morning session is where it’s at. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell from the east, period still around 8 seconds, with a nice offshore wind from the NNW at 12 mph. The energy is a solid 400 (strong). That’s proper, clean surf. The offshore wind will keep the faces smooth and make for some fun, punchy waves. This is the best on offer across the whole outlook.
Friday the 4th and Sunday the 6th are also worth a look, with 6-6ft easterly swells and clean winds, but they’re not quite as crisp as that Saturday morning. After that, things drop off again into smaller, weaker, and wind-affected junk.
So, to wrap it up: you’ve got a long wait, but Thursday the 3rd of September through Sunday the 6th of September has some real potential. Saturday morning is the one to circle on the calendar.
Rusty.
