The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again. I've got to tell you straight – there's pretty much nothing happening in the water for the next 16 days. The Finder's got no good options whatsoever.
We're looking at waves running 0.7ft to 2ft for the whole period. The combined swell energy is weak, all in the low double digits to barely cracking 70 – that's barely a ripple.
Let's talk about Avalon 15th Street – it's your go-to by default. Friday the 28th of August: tiny 1ft to 2ft swell out of the ESE to SE, 8-second period. Morning is dead calm, 3 mph east wind turning glass. That's the cleanest the ocean's gonna look. Afternoon goes dead calm too. For a beginner on a foamie, that's as good as it gets around here right now.
Saturday the 29th stays tiny at 1ft, but the wind goes cross-shore at 9 mph from the northeast. Usable but not great.
Come Sunday the 30th, the wind swings south at 12 mph, building to a cross-onshore chop. That 2ft windswell with a 4-second period is ugly. More a kite day than a surf day.
Monday the 31st brings glass again in the morning, but we're down to 1.0ft. That pattern holds through the early part of September – occasional clean spells with offshore or calm wind, but barely a bump. On the 2nd and 3rd, we get a little pulse: 2ft to 2ft with an 11-second period and combined energy climbing to the 70s, but the wind is cross-on or cross-shore. Not clean.
The best-looking stretch comes September 6th through 8th: 2ft east swell, 11-second period, and solid offshore wind from the northwest at 12 to 15 mph. That's going to be clean but small. You might get a couple decent little walls if you're patient.
September 9th shows the biggest swell – 3ft out of the south, but only 5 seconds. That's windswell slop. Even though it's clean with offshore wind in the morning, the period is too short for any real power. That's a messy closeout machine.
From September 10th onward, we're back to 0.7ft to 2ft. The last day in the window, September 12th, is showing 1.0ft and weak energy.
Water temp is about average for the season – nothing unusual. This is just a quiet spell. It happens. But around here, it never stays poor for long. Keep checking.
Rusty, out.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Avalon 15th Street may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
