Table - best surf conditions forecast for Avalon 15th Street over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Avalon 15th Street is a flat, quiet dream for a paddleboarder, but not much for a surfer. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to get excited about for the entire 16-day window.
The first week is a total write-off. From Monday, July 13th right through to Sunday, July 19th, we’re dealing with tiny, weak waves. The biggest bump we see is a little 3ft push on Sunday afternoon, July 19th, with a light offshore wind from the NW. That’s the best of a bad bunch, but even then, the combined energy of all swells is only 52 (weak energy) and the wave period is a short 5 seconds. It’ll be a clean little crumbler for a log, but don’t expect any power.
The water temperature is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice bonus if you’re just having a float.
The second week doesn’t get much better. We get a tiny bump on Monday, July 20th, with a combined energy of 102 (moderate energy) and a 3ft swell from the SSE. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’ll be clean but gutless. A 3ft wave with an 8-second period just isn’t going to offer much. The rest of the week is back to knee-high dribble with onshore or cross-onshore breezes, especially on Saturday, July 25th, with a risk of thunderstorms.
Look, the truth is, there’s no standout session here. The break is fairly consistent, but the swells are just too small. It’s one of those runs where the ocean is taking a nap. The only real positive is that the wind does go light or offshore on a few mornings, so if you’re desperate for a splash, you might find a 1.0ft clean wave. But for a real surf? You’re better off waiting for the next system.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the charts. Things can change quickly around here.

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.
