Table - best surf conditions forecast for Avalon 15th Street over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the Avalon 15th Street stretch.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: the next week and a half is pretty flat. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves with poor conditions. From Wednesday the 8th all the way through to Monday the 13th, the swell is barely a ripple, mostly under 3 ft, with short periods and a lot of cross or onshore wind. The wave energy is pathetic, so don't even bother paddling out. It’s a real bust.
Now, there is a glimmer of something on the horizon. Tuesday morning, July 14th, things get interesting. We’ll see a pulse of 6 ft groundswell from the ESE. The period is a modest 8 seconds, so not a super long-period groundswell, but the energy is solid. The big standout here is the wind – it’s glassy, absolutely flat calm. That’s rare, and it’ll make the surf clean as a whistle. Keep in mind, at 6 ft, this is a bit much for the beginners; it’s more in the intermediate to expert wheelhouse. The water temp is 76°, which is a full 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a real treat, a much warmer than normal ocean.
After that Tuesday morning window, the swell drops off fast. The rest of the week into the weekend looks poor again, with the wind swinging onshore and the swell fading back to under 3 ft. The second week, from the 19th onward, is a write-off – tiny, weak swells with no real energy to speak of. The 21st of July has a glassy morning with 4 ft from the south, but the period is a short 5 seconds and the energy is low, so it’s not going to offer much.
If you want a surf, your only true standout is Tuesday morning, July 14th. The glassy conditions and that pulse of ESE swell are the best bet. Just be aware, the crowds are *sometimes* an issue there, so you might have some company. For the rest of the 16-day window, it’s a long wait.
Rusty.
