The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about your local stretch.
Look, I gotta be straight with you. The outlook for Avalon 15th Street over the next 16 days is a tough one. We are looking at a whole lot of nothing for a long stretch here. From Tuesday, September 1st right through to Thursday, September 10th, you are looking at a solid 10-day gap with basically no surf worth paddling for. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and the conditions are just poor. There's a bit of life that starts to creep in around the second week, but honestly, for a beginner spot that needs a decent push, it’s a long wait.
The water is sitting at a very warm 77° right now at the start of the period, which is about 5° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a pretty big anomaly, so you won’t need a thick suit, but you will need patience.
The first real sign of something happens on Friday, September 11. We get a bump of 3 ft to 4 ft swell from the SSW to S, with a short period of 5 to 6 seconds. The combined wave energy is moderate, hitting around 63 in the morning and 100 by the afternoon. But the winds are a cross-shore mess, so it’s not going to be pretty. This is more of a windswell chop than anything you want to spend time on.
There is a flicker of hope on the very last day, September 16. Wednesday morning brings a 4 ft south swell with light north winds, making for clean conditions. The energy is still moderate at 94. Then Wednesday afternoon, we get the best option of the whole 16-day window. It’s a 5 ft south swell with 6-second period, but the wind goes offshore from the northwest at 9 mph. That’s going to clean things up nicely, giving you gentle offshore conditions. The combined energy jumps to 153, which is a decent push of moderate wave energy. Keep in mind, at 5 ft, this is starting to nudge the limit for beginners, but it's still manageable. For Avalon, that’s the standout session, but it’s way out on the 16th, so treat it as promising but not a certainty.
Don’t expect much consistency here. This stretch of flat spells is just the way it goes sometimes for this beach. Keep an eye out, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
