The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: we are in a real dry spell for Avalon 15th Street (New Jersey). For the next week and a half, it’s looking pretty bleak. From this Sunday the 13th right through to the 26th, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the winds are messy, and the water is doing its own thing. We’re talking days and days of flatness and poor conditions. It’s a proper lull.
Now, the water temp is sitting at a warm 77°, which is a massive 6° above normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual – feels more like summer than autumn, but there’s no surf to enjoy it in.
We finally see a flicker of life on Sunday the 27th. The morning kicks off with a clean 3ft swell from the ESE, with a period of 10 seconds. The wind is light and offshore from the WNW, so conditions should be glassy and clean. The combined swell energy climbs to 143 (moderate wave energy), which is the most we’ve seen in this whole outlook. The afternoon holds up too, with the same 3ft ESE swell, period bumping to 11 seconds, and a gentle cross-offshore breeze. Energy hits 167 (moderate wave energy) – not pumping, but for this stretch, it’s the best on offer. It’s a long-period groundswell, which will favour a more lined-up wave at a beach break like this, so expect longer gaps between sets.
This Sunday the 27th is the standout. It’s not huge, it’s not epic, but it’s clean and it’s the only window where the stars align. The rest of the 16 days? Honestly, save your energy. The following Monday the 28th looks bumpy again with cross-shore winds, so that window is narrow.
Stay patient. Rusty.
