The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Avalon 15th Street over the next 16 days is a tough one. We're looking at a long dry spell with nothing but "poor surf conditions" stamped all over the forecast. The swell just isn't showing up with any kind of quality. The combined energy from all swells is mostly weak, often below 100 (21), and only occasionally nudging into moderate territory. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, coming in at 77°.
First up, Tuesday the 25th to Monday the 2nd of September – there's just nothing to recommend. The swell is tiny, between 0.7 ft and 3 ft. The periods are all over the place, from a short 4 seconds up to a long 15 seconds, but it doesn't matter because the size is so small. Even when we get a glassy morning on Wednesday the 26th, or a clean cross-off on Friday the 28th, the waves are too weak to be any fun. The best wind we see is a glassy calm on Wednesday the 2nd of September, but again, the swell is a pathetic 1 ft with a 12-second period – too long for a beach break like this to shape up properly.
Then we roll into the second week. From the 3rd of September right through to the 9th, it's more of the same story. The swell height never gets above 2 ft on Wednesday the 9th, and while that morning has a gentle offshore wind from the NW, the swell period is a super short 4 seconds, so it's just wind slop. We also get a clean cross-off with a moderate breeze on the 4th and 5th, but again, the swell is a measly 2 ft. The combined energy stays low, mostly in the 30s, 40s, and 50s (30-54).
Honestly, there isn't a single standout session in the entire 16-day window. For a consistent break like Avalon 15th Street, this is a real bummer. It's a stretch of flatness that's worth just taking a break for. The setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on the days with a bit of wind and that tiny, weak swell. Hang in there, things have to turn around eventually.
Rusty.
