The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Avalon 15th Street’s got cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a tough stretch ahead. The water’s sittin’ at a very unusual 77°F which is a full 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year - feels like a bath out there. But for the waves? We’re lookin’ at a long, flat spell to start. For the first ten days, we've got nothin’ worth paddling out for. Day after day of small, weak, messy surf. The energy figures are barely tickin’ over, mostly in the double digits like 31 or 13, barely registering. The winds are all over the shop, coming onshore or cross-shore more often than not, choppin’ up what little bump there is. It’s a write-off until about the 21st of September, and even then it's still poor surf conditions as the swell starts to build but the wind is ruining it.
Then things get interesting, though not necessarily for the Sunday surf session. Around the 22nd of September, the ocean starts to wake up proper. We see the combined swell energy jump into the strong range (476), but that onshore wind is gonna make a mess of it. But then, look at the 23rd of September. That Wednesday morning is your standout. We’ve got a solid 7ft swell rolling out of the East with a 9-second period, and the wind goes clean - a nice W 9 mph cross-off shore. Sure, it’s a bigger swell (over 5ft) so maybe not for the groms just findin’ their feet, but for anyone with a bit of experience, that’s the window. The energy is pumpin’ at 580. That’s the best on offer, no contest.
There’s a bit more size on the 24th and 25th, with swell hitting 7ft, but those winds get strong and a bit too side-shore, making it a choppy mess for paddle surfing. Cross-shore winds start to dominate, which isn't ideal. The long period (11 seconds) on the 25th means more energy between sets, better for a point or reef, but at a beach break like Avalon, it could be a bit straight and dumpy.
So, there you have it. A whole lot of waitin’, a few promising signals for the experts mid-week, and then it fades again. Forecasts can change, but right now, mark your calendar for Wednesday the 23rd.
Rusty.
