The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking.

Honestly, I gotta tell ya straight up, this 16-day window is a flat spell. We’ve got nothing but tiny, weak slop on offer at Avalon 15th Street. There's no standout swell to get excited about, no real energy to speak of. The whole period is a write-off for decent waves.

Right now, the water temperature is 77°, which is a whopping 6° warmer than what’s normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual – it’s like swimming in a bath. But that’s about the only notable thing happening.

The first few days are especially grim. Wednesday the 9th has a tiny 2ft SSW swell with a period of only 4 seconds – that’s pure wind chop, no energy to it at all (17). The wind is cross-shore and onshore, making for lumpy, poor conditions. Not worth paddling out. The afternoon is barely better with a 4ft S swell but the period is still gutless at 4 seconds (54), and it’s cross-onshore and lumpy.

Thursday the 10th cleans up a bit with cross-offshore wind in the morning, but the swell is just 3ft from the S at 6 seconds (44). It’s clean, but tiny. Friday the 11th afternoon goes glassy with a 0.7ft ESE swell and a 9 second period (16) – glassy but laughably small.

We grind through the whole forecast like this. Every day, every session, the score is zero. The swell rarely cracks 3ft, the periods are short, and the combined wave energy never breaks triple digits. The best you get is occasional clean conditions with cross-off or offshore wind, but with no swell to work with, it’s a flat, clean ocean.

The whole first week is a bust, and the second week doesn’t offer any hope. By the 19th of September we’re down to a 0.3ft swell from the SE with a 12 second period (11). That’s practically a lake. It stays like that through the 24th – tiny, weak, and directionally messy.

If you're a beginner looking to practice paddling in flat, warm water, you could maybe get a few knee-high bumps on a longboard on Friday the 11th when it goes glassy. But for anyone wanting a proper wave, this stretch is a total dud.

This is what we call a blank run. It happens here. Don’t fight it. The forecasts can always change, but right now, it’s as flat as it gets.

Rusty.

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.

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.
