The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s on offer for Avalon 15th Street.
Well, to be straight up, this is a quiet stretch ahead. The forecast window is a long 16 days, but the first recommendation doesn't pop up until the morning of Friday, July 18th. Even then, it’s just a tiny 0.3ft SE swell on the glass. The combined wave energy is barely a whisper at (4). It’s the kind of morning where you might as well sit on the beach with a coffee. The water is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Saturday morning, July 19th, sees a bit more energy – a 5ft S swell but it’s short period and messy with a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-onshore wind. The combined energy (108) is moderate, but the wind is going to ruin any shape. The afternoon is just as rough.
The real standout, and I mean the only one worth talking about, is the morning of Sunday, July 20th. We’ve got a clean 2ft SSE swell running with a nice offshore NW wind. It’s small, sure, but it will be clean and glassy. The combined energy is only (40), so it’s not packing any punch, but for a beginner-friendly break like Avalon 15th Street, that’s a score. The afternoon also holds clean with a 2ft S swell and offshore WNW wind.
After that, the surf turns pretty average. Monday the 21st through Thursday the 24th is mostly small, weak, and onshore. There’s a couple of clean windows on Wednesday the 23rd with a 3ft SSE swell and cross-offshore wind, but the energy is still low (91). Nothing to get excited about.
The week of July 25th to August 1st is a real flat spell. The swell barely reaches 2ft, and the wind is all over the place. The morning of Saturday, July 26th is glassy with a 2ft ESE swell, but it’s so small. The strongest combined energy in this period is (70) on the afternoon of the 26th, but even then it’s a light cross-onshore. The last few days of the window are all small, inconsistent, and often choppy.
So, the honest truth: this is a dry run for the most part. If you’re a beginner or just want to get the board wet, the Sunday morning of July 20th is your best bet. For the rest, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
