The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer for Avalon 15th Street over the next couple of weeks.
Well, I’ve got to be straight with you—this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a blank run. There isn’t a single session that’s worth paddling out for. The surf is just too small and weak, with the combined swell energy barely cracking 38 (weak energy) at the start, and then dribbling down to single digits by the second week. The swell direction is all over the shop from the SE and SSE, but with heights mostly under 2 ft, and periods as low as 4 seconds, it’s just wind chop, not real swell.
The first few days, from Tuesday the 28th of July right through the weekend, are a write-off. You’ve got storm risks, rain showers, and cross-onshore winds making a mess of the tiny, weak waves. There’s a brief moment on Thursday afternoon the 30th of July where the wind goes glassy, but the swell is only 1 ft with a combined energy of 34 (weak)—it’s a pond, not a surf.
The only tiny flicker of hope comes on Monday the 3rd of August afternoon, when the swell height bumps up to 3 ft from the SSE, and the combined energy jumps to 175 (moderate energy). But it’s still cross-onshore, with a period of only 8 seconds, and the wave comment says “poor surf conditions.” It’s not worth chasing. After that, it’s back to tiny, weak, and messy, with clean winds on a few mornings but no swell to ride.
The water temperature is sitting at 75°F, which is about average for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit, but you’ll need a lot of patience.
Bottom line: There’s nothing here. For a break that’s fairly consistent and fairly exposed, this is a frustrating run. The good news is it tends not to stay this flat for long, and forecasts can change. But for now, leave the board at home. This is a stretch for the kites, not the paddle.
Stay tuned, and I’ll see you when the swell decides to show up.
