The Lowdown
Alrighty, let’s break down what’s cookin’ at Avalon 15th Street.
First off, the next week and a half is a washout. Tiny, weak dribble – from 0.3ft up to maybe 2ft – and the wind’s all over the place, mostly cross or onshore. The wave energy is thin, reading in the teens and twenties (16), so there’s no power behind it. Water temp is about normal for this time of year, but that doesn’t help when there’s nothing to ride. It’s a long, flat stretch with choppy, bumpy surf.
That dry spell runs all the way until the morning of Wednesday, 2nd September.
But then we get a pulse. On Wednesday afternoon, 2nd September, a 3ft swell from ESE rolls in with a 11-second period, and the energy hits 377 – that’s moderate. The wind goes cross-offshore from the west, so the surface will be clean. It’s still small, but it’s the first proper surf in ages.
The real standout is Thursday, 3rd September. Both sessions are good. A 3ft ESE swell, 10-second period, and energy at 329 in the morning and 285 in the afternoon. The wind is offshore – northwest in the am, west-northwest in the pm – so it’ll be glassy with clean lines. That’s your best bet. It’s not huge, but after such a long flat spell, those clean offshore waves are a gift. It’s fine for most surfers, though beginners might find the 3ft a little punchy.
Friday, 4th September, still has a 3ft swell with light offshore wind in the morning, but the energy drops to 145, and the afternoon gets a bit wind-affected. After that, the surf fades back to small and messy through the weekend.
So if you’re hanging for a wave, your window is Wednesday afternoon, 2nd September, through Friday morning, 4th September. Thursday is the day.
