The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are a total write-off for any decent surf around Avalon 15th Street. We’re staring down a long, flat, and mostly messy run that’s just not worth getting the wetsuit on for.
Right from the start, Sunday the 19th, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the south with a weak period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a low 30, and the water’s sitting at 77°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Yeah, the wind is offshore but the swell is just too small and weak to do anything with it.
From Monday the 20th, it’s a real struggle. The swell drops to 1.0ft, the wind turns cross or onshore, and it’s just choppy, lumpy, and flat. The energy is pitiful, with numbers like 22 and 14. We do get a bit of a bump on Tuesday the 21st with 5ft swell, but the period is a short 6 seconds, the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore, and it’s lumpy. The combined energy hits 122, but with that wind, it’s a washing machine. Wednesday the 22nd is the closest we get to a clean window, with 3ft to 4ft swell, a 9-second period, and offshore wind. The energy is 173, but it’s still a poor surf day. The rest of the week and into the next is a depressing mix of tiny swells, onshore winds, and cross-chop. The energy barely cracks 80, and most days are below 50.
By the 29th, we get a glassy morning with 3ft swell, but the period is a weak 6 seconds and the energy is only 54. It’s clean but again, there’s no power. This pattern just keeps going through the start of August. The last day on the 3rd of August has a 2ft swell from the SSE, but it’s a risk of thunderstorms and cross-onshore wind. Honestly, for a spot that’s only fairly consistent, this is a proper blank run. There’s nothing here to get excited about. The setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle for most of this period.
Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, I’d save the gas and do something else. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
