The Lowdown
Alright, let me break it down for ya. The name’s Rusty, and I’ve had a proper look at what’s coming our way.
Honestly, mate, it’s a flat spell for Avalon 15th Street over the next 16 days. We’ve got zero recommendations—the surf just isn’t on. Every single session from Wednesday the 26th of August right through to Thursday the 10th of September is rated as poor surf conditions. That’s a solid 16-day gap with nothing worth paddling out for. For an area like this, it’s not abnormal to see a blank run like this, but it stings.
The only break in the file is Avalon 15th Street itself, a beginner-friendly spot that’s fairly consistent, but not right now. It’s fairly exposed to swell, with an optimum swell direction out of the SE. Unfortunately, what little swell shows up is tiny—most sessions are 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with a few afternoons pushing to 3 ft or 4 ft early September, but those come with poor conditions and wrong winds. The combined wave energy is weak the whole time, with values like 18, 30, 54—never breaking into triple digits except a few afternoons (116 on the 27th and 116 on the 3rd Sept) but even then, it’s poor.
On the 1st of September Tuesday morning, we get a glassy 0.7 ft swell from the ESE with a very long period of 15 seconds—that’s a groundswell—but it’s just too small to do anything. Clean conditions on the 2nd and 7th of September, but again, tiny waves and weak energy (51–56, 47–50). Nothing fires.
So the honest truth? There’s no standout. No good surf on offer. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, leave the board at home.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Avalon 15th Street can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
