The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gonna be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one. We're looking at a long, dry spell for Avalon 15th Street, so don't be in a rush to grab your board.
Right off the bat, the water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 77°F, but that's about the only good news. The outlook starts with a whole lot of nothing. From Sunday the 23rd of August, all the way through to Friday the 4th of September, the surf is just plain poor. We're talking tiny, weak waves with combined energy barely cracking 50 (12). The wind is a constant problem, swinging from cross-off to cross-on, and even onshore, keeping the surface messy. Even on the afternoon of Monday the 24th when it goes glassy, the swell is only 1ft. It's a frustrating stretch where you'll be better off doing something else.
Now, we do finally see a tiny glimmer of hope on the 5th of September. That Saturday morning, we get a bit of a pulse. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the SE with a period of 12 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 175. The real kicker is the wind, which swings offshore from the NNW. It's a gentle offshore, so it'll be clean. The afternoon holds similar with a 2ft swell and offshore WNW winds. The comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and I'm not gonna lie to you, it's not a classic. For a beginner-friendly spot like this, 3ft is totally fine, but it's not going to blow anyone away. It's the best we've got in the whole 16-day window, but it's a real scrappy standout.
So, to sum it up: you've got a massive gap of about 12 days with no real surf on offer. Then, on Saturday the 5th of September, the stars finally align for a few hours of clean, surfable waves. It's not a day to call in sick for, but if you're desperate for a paddle and a few little waves, that's your window. The rest of the forecast is a write-off.
Rusty.
