The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Avalon 15th Street is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, poor surf, and frankly, the conditions are not cooperating for a proper paddle session.
We start off on Thursday the 23rd with a tiny 1ft SE swell at 8 seconds. The water is sitting at a toasty 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The wind is onshore, and the wave energy is weak (40). It’s a no-go.
Friday the 24th through the weekend sees a slight bump in height, but the wind is gusty and cross-onshore, making things choppy and messy. The swell is still short period and weak energy, topping out at a combined energy of 92 on Saturday afternoon. It’s just not worth the paddle-out.
We get a few moments of cleaner conditions mid-week. Tuesday the 28th morning has a clean-looking cross-offshore wind, but the swell is tiny at 2ft. Wednesday the 29th morning and Thursday the 30th morning also offer clean conditions with a light offshore wind, with the swell picking up to 2ft. The energy is still weak, but the wind is right. For a beginner looking for a safe, clean paddle in tiny waves, Thursday morning is the best of a bad lot – but it’s not a stand-out surf session.
The outlook dries up again after that. The rest of the first week and into the second week is a mix of tiny swell and onshore winds. There’s a brief moment of glassy conditions on Thursday the 6th of August, but the swell is a pathetic 0.7ft with a combined energy of just 9. That’s barely a ripple.
Overall, this is a long, quiet run. For a beginner-friendly spot, the consistency is poor, and the quality is almost non-existent. We’re looking at a gap of over a week with no real recommendations. It’s one of those periods where the forecast can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about for a traditional surf. The setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on the days the wind picks up.
Rusty.
