The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next 16 days at Avalon 15th Street are a write-off. There’s not a single standout session in the whole run. The water’s sitting at a very unusual 78°, which is a whopping 6° warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be swimming in bathwater, but that’s about the only interesting thing going on.
We start now on Sunday the 6th with a tiny 1ft easterly swell and a cross-on breeze. The combined energy is a meagre 14, so forget about any push. Monday the 7th offers a bit of cleanup with a light NE cross-off, but the swell is still only 1ft – not enough to get out of the car for. Tuesday the 8th is practically flat with 0.7ft. Wednesday the 9th sees a pulse of 2ft, but it’s a short-period 4-second windswell from the SSW, and the wind is cross-shore, making it choppy and messy. Thursday the 10th is the biggest we’ll see all week, with 4ft from the SSW and a clean cross-off wind, but the period is a pathetic 5 seconds, and the combined energy is only 88. It’s gutless. Friday the 11th drops back to 1ft.
From Saturday the 12th right through to Sunday the 20th, it’s a long, flat stretch. Swell heights barely hit 2ft, and when they do, the wind is onshore or the period is short. On the 17th, we get a glassy afternoon with a 0.3ft, 12-second groundswell, but it’s so small it’s barely a ripple. The combined energy is 11 – laughable. The 20th gives us a last gasp of 4ft from the south, but it’s a 5-second windswell with a cross-onshore, making it a choppy, unappealing mess.
This is a dead run for paddle surfing. The consistent east-southeast swell direction is the wrong angle for this spot, and the wind is almost always against us. If you’re desperate for a session, the cleanest waves will be on Thursday the 10th morning, but even then, it’s barely a beginner’s wave. For the rest of the time, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the strong onshore winds and small, choppy surf. Hang in there, mate – forecasts can change.
Rusty.
