G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you—this outlook for Avalon 15th Street is a tough one. Over the next 16 days, there’s nothing that even sniffs at a standout session. We’ve got a long, flat, and mostly choppy run ahead, so don’t be hanging your hopes on a magic swell.
We start off on Thursday, July 2nd, with tiny 3ft swell from the SSW, a short 5-second period, and weak energy (62). Winds are cross and on the breezy side, making for messy, poor surf. Friday and Saturday, July 3rd and 4th, drop even smaller—0.7ft to 1ft—with SE pulses. The early mornings do have clean, light wind, but there’s simply no power. Combined energy is pitiful, just 17 to 30. It’s barely a ripple.
Sunday the 5th through to Wednesday the 8th is a write-off: choppy cross-onshore winds, rainy spells, and swell heights that never crack 2ft. Energy stays low, below 70. Thursday July 9th offers a slight reprieve with clean-ish cross-shore winds and 2ft swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds. Still poor.
Around Saturday, July 11th, we finally see a bump—3ft swell from the SSE with a 8-second period, and combined energy climbs to 127 (moderate). Winds turn cross-offshore, and it cleans up nicely in the morning. That’s the best the whole window gets, but at 3ft, it’s just a small, weak wave. Not a standout, just a fleeting moment of hope in a flat stretch.
The rest of the second week, from Sunday July 12th to Friday July 17th, is back to tiny 1ft to 2ft swell, with occasional glassy mornings but no real push. The afternoon of July 14th sees a 5ft S swell with 6-second period and energy of 150, but it’s a choppy, lumpy mess with strong cross-onshore winds at 18 mph. That one’s for windsurfers, not paddle surfers.
Avalon 15th Street is a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent but exposed to a narrow SE window. The water temp is 72°, a touch warmer than average for the time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit. Crowds are sometimes an issue, but honestly, with this forecast, you’ll have the place to yourself.
Bottom line: There are zero good surf options in this 16-day stretch. The entire period is a gap of poor conditions. Keep the board in the car for a beach walk, but don’t wax it up. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a full blank run.
Rusty.

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. Our Avalon 15th Street surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Avalon 15th Street) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
