Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me tell you straight up: this stretch of the Jersey Shore isn't giving us much to get excited about over the next couple of weeks. It's a flat spell, plain and simple.
We’re looking at a long, dry gap right from the start. For days on end, there's nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the periods are short, and the conditions are messy. It’s not until Monday, the 13th of July, that we finally see a pulse of energy.
That Monday morning, Avalon 15th Street might just offer a tiny window. A clean, cross-offshore breeze will groom a small swell from the ENE pushing 5ft. The wave energy is moderate (180), but the swell period is a weak 6 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit soft and crumbly. The water's much warmer than usual at 76°, but don't expect much of a shape. For a beginner, it’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
After that brief tease, the rest of the week settles back into a funk. The wind will get in the way, switching hard onshore, and the swell drops right back down. The end of the period, around the 20th, looks cleaner again with some cross-offshore breezes, but the swell remains minimal—just knee-high slop from the SSE. With wave energy as low as 54, there’s just not enough grunt.
It's a lean run of forecasts. Sometimes the ocean takes a nap, and for Avalon, this is one of those times. Keep your eye on the horizon, but don’t hold your breath.

Information about the Avalon 15th Street Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Avalon 15th Street provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. 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.
