The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's be straight with you – right now, there isn't a single set of waves worth paddling out for at Avalon 15th Street. The whole 16-day outlook is a flat spell with poor surf conditions forecast for every single session. We're looking at a real gap here with nothing to recommend.
The water temperature is sitting at 77°, which is a touch warmer than what's normal for this time of year, so you'd be warm if there was anything to ride.
Honestly, the whole stretch from August 18th all the way through to September 2nd is a write-off for surfing. The swell heights barely climb above 3 ft, and most of the time they're under 2 ft. The combined swell energy is generally weak – you'll see values like 28, 35, even as low as 8 at times, which is barely a ripple (28). Later on, around August 28th, you do get a jump to 127 (moderate wave energy) with a 3 ft SSE swell, but it's locked in with a risk of thunderstorms and a moderate cross-onshore wind creating chop. That's no good for a clean ride.
The wind tries to play nice a few times. The morning of August 24th has light cross-offshore NW wind at 12 mph, and the morning of August 25th brings a clean offshore from the WNW at 6 mph, but there's just no swell to work with. The period on those small clean days is mostly short, like 6 to 12 seconds, but on a 1 ft to 2 ft wave, it's not going to do anything.
The best of a very flat bunch might be the morning of August 30th, with a light offshore WNW wind at 9 mph, clean conditions, and a 2 ft SE swell. It's still tiny. For an absolute beginner, that glassy feel might be a chance to sit on a foamie and feel the ocean, but there's no power there. There are no standout sessions in this window.
For a spot that's fairly consistent, this blank run is unusual. Forecasts can always change, so keep an eye on it, but for the next two weeks, save your energy. It looks more like a stretch for a beach stroll than a surf.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Avalon 15th Street can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Avalon 15th Street surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Avalon 15th Street) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
