The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the 16-day outlook for Avalon 15th Street. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this one’s a tough read.
The whole stretch is a long, flat spell. The first record starts Monday morning, August 3rd, but it’s nothing to write home about. From the beginning of August all the way through to the 18th, there’s not a single solid surf recommendation. That’s a 16-day gap with no real waves. Water temp is 76°F, which is about average for the season – nothing weird there.
The only real pulse of energy comes Monday afternoon, August 3rd, with a combined swell energy of (732) – that’s moderate to strong. Swell is 7ft from the SSE, but it’s a short-period 8-second windswell. The problem is the wind is cross-shore from the SW at 15 mph, which puts a chop on it. Still, 7ft is punchy, but it’s likely too big for beginners. With a short period like that, the waves won’t hold shape well. The model says it’s “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions,” so I’d be cautious.
The rest of the forecast is a desert. Mostly tiny waves under 3ft, often with cross-shore or onshore winds. There are a couple of glassy moments – Wednesday morning, August 5th, is glassy but the swell is only 2ft, and Tuesday morning, August 11th, has glassy conditions with a tiny 1ft SSE swell. Not enough to get excited about.
For a spot like Avalon 15th Street, which is a beginner-friendly break that’s fairly consistent, this long run of nothing is a bit unusual. It’s a beach break, so when the wind picks up and the swell is weak, it’s just not happening. If you’re a kite surfer, the afternoons with that 25 mph cross-onshore on Thursday, August 6th, might look more interesting than paddling.
The only stand-out, and I mean the *only* one worth mentioning, is that Monday afternoon, August 3rd. The swell is 7ft from the SSE, and while it’s short period, the energy is there. It’s a cross-shore wind, so not clean, but it’s the biggest wave you’ll see in the whole window. Crowds are possible at that spot, so expect a few out. If you’re desperate for a wave, that’s your window, but don’t expect perfection.
Rusty, signing off.
