The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down the same forecast for Avalon 15th Street, but in feet and miles per hour.
It’s a pretty quiet stretch, to be honest. The models are showing a long dry spell with no real surf to get excited about until the start of August. There's a big gap from now until the end of July with nothing worth paddling out for. The energy is just weak, with combined swell energy values mostly under 100 (weak), and the waves that are there are tiny. You're looking at a lot of small, weak swells in the 1ft to 3ft range, mostly from the SSE, with periods around 8 seconds or less. That’s short-period, weak stuff.
The first real chance is on the morning of Wednesday, August 5th. The swell picks up to 4ft from the SSE with a period of 10 seconds. That's a better, longer-period swell, and combined energy jumps to 346 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the north at about 9 mph, which will keep the surface clean. It’s not a massive swell, but it's the best-looking window in the whole forecast. The sun will be out, and with the wind being light, conditions should be pretty good. Keep in mind this is a beach break, so a longer period groundswell like that can sometimes stand up a bit too straight, but for a peaky wave, it could be a fun morning.
Following that, the afternoon of the 5th gets a touch more size at 5ft, but the wind swings onshore, making it choppy. The next morning, Thursday the 6th, drops back to 4ft with onshore wind again, so the window is really tight.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report there. Crowds are possible at Avalon 15th Street, so if you can get out early on the morning of the 5th, you’ll be in the best spot.
Rusty.
