The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for Avalon 15th Street. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim stretch of small, weak, and messy surf for the next week and a half. The water is sitting at 78°F right now, which is a solid 7°F above what we’d expect for this time of year, so it’s feeling much warmer than normal.
We’ve got a long gap of nothing surfable kicking off the outlook. From Saturday, the 5th, all the way through to Wednesday, the 16th, it’s a write-off. You’re looking at tiny 0.7ft to 5ft slop, mostly with rubbish cross-onshore winds or weak, short-period windswell that’s just not doing anything for us. The combined energy barely cracks triple digits on the 16th, hitting 124, but the wind is still messy and the quality is poor. Not worth the paddle.
The real tease comes on Thursday, the 17th of September. The morning session could be the one. A solid 7ft swell from the east, with a period of 8 seconds, rolls in with a light offshore breeze (WSW at 6 mph). The combined energy is a strong 639, so there’s some proper push behind it. That said, 7ft is punchy – this is getting into the territory for experienced surfers only. It’s a beach break, and with a moderate period, expect it to be a bit walled-off and tricky. The crowd factor is a concern, too – it’s “sometimes” busy, so there could be a scramble for the takeoff zone. This is the standout, but it’s a Monday – wait, that’s Thursday, the 17th. Mark it. The afternoon though, the wind swings onshore and the rain comes in, so the window is tight.
After that, Friday the 18th has a similar 7ft east swell, but the wind is junk from the ENE at 12 mph, making it choppy and cross-on. The energy is still strong at 724, but the conditions will ruin it for most. Saturday the 19th drops back to 5ft, but the cross-onshore wind keeps it messy.
If you’re a beginner, steer clear of the 17th – that’s too big. For everyone else, Thursday morning, the 17th, is your only real shot. It’s a tempter, but it’s all we’ve got. The rest of the window is a flat, windy mess. This is one of those stretches where the forecast can change, but right now, it’s looking pretty bare.
Rusty.
