Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the charts for the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a slow, flat spell on the horizon. For the next 16 days, there’s nothing that’s going to get the heart racing. The only spot on the radar is Avalon 15th Street, but the numbers are rough.
We’re starting off with a real dud. From Monday, July 6th, right through the whole week and into the next, the surf is tiny. We’re talking about waves mostly under 2ft, and the energy is weak, with the combined swell energy sitting at a measly 19 on Monday morning. It barely gets better. The wind is a mixed bag, but it’s often cross-onshore, chopping up the already pathetic little bumps. There’s a brief moment on Tuesday morning, July 7th, where we get a clean look with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE, but it’s still only 2ft of swell from the E with a short period of 6 seconds. It’s knee-high at best and pretty gutless.
The big story here is the lack of any real swell. The period is short, under 8 seconds most of the time, so it’s all windswell and lacks any punch. The best call might be the glassy morning on Sunday, July 19th, with 2ft from the SSE and zero wind. It will be clean, but it’s tiny. Then on Saturday, July 18th, the swell bumps up to 5ft from the S with a period of 6 seconds, but the wind is howling onshore at 19 mph. That’s not surfable; that’s a kite session if you’re into that kind of thing. The wave energy reads 144, which is moderate, but the wind ruins it completely.
For a beginner spot like Avalon 15th Street, the small size is fine, but the conditions are mostly poor. There’s no standout, no day to circle on the calendar. It’s a flat run. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We’ve got a solid 16-day gap without a single good recommendation. For this area, a blank run like this isn’t totally unusual when the charts go quiet. Forecasts can change, but for now, keep the board in the car and find something else to do.

Information about the Avalon 15th Street Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Avalon 15th Street provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. 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.
