The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's cookin' for Avalon 15th Street.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with ya – it's a tough stretch ahead. This isn't a region that's gonna fire on all cylinders, but we'll pick through the scraps. For the most part, the waves are small and the energy is weak. The water temp is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing wild going on there.
The first week is a real grind. From Wednesday the 2nd right through to Monday the 7th of September, we're looking at tiny, weak surf, mostly under 2ft, with short-period junk. The wind is often a factor, creating cross-chop, so it's not going to be pretty. You're better off doing something else. There's a little blip on Sunday morning the 6th with a clean 3ft easterly swell, but the period is weak and the energy is still low. It's not a standout.
Then we hit a barren stretch. From late on the 6th all the way through to the 14th of September, there's just nothing worth paddling out for. We're talking days of flatness or near-flat conditions. The wind does go offshore on the morning of the 13th, but with only 1ft on offer, it's a polished floor, not a wave.
The light at the end of this long tunnel comes on the 15th of September. We get a bit more size, with a clean 3ft swell from the NE on Tuesday afternoon. The energy is still moderate at best, but the wind is light and cross-off, so the surface will be clean. For a beginner-friendly spot like this, that's about as good as it gets in this forecast. Then on Wednesday the 16th, the morning has a similar vibe with 2-3ft from the ENE and clean conditions.
But the one true standout? You’re gonna have to wait for it. On Thursday the 17th of September, we finally see a pulse of real energy. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the east with clean, light winds. The combined energy jumps to a solid reading, which is the best we’ll see by a long shot. For this break, 5ft is pushing the limit for beginners, but for the rest of you, it’s the call of the period. It's a week and a half away, so don't book your flights, but it's the one window that has some proper grunt and shape.
Stay thirsty.
