Table - best surf conditions forecast for Avalon 15th Street over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for the next couple of weeks is a tough one to write. I’ve looked at the numbers, and honestly, there’s nothing to get excited about for a paddle. The whole 16-day window is a flat spell for Avalon 15th Street.
We kick off on Friday the 10th with tiny 1.0ft to 1ft swell from the east and southeast. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least a dip won't be a shock. But the energy is weak (24), and the forecast calls it poor surf conditions. That’s the story for the rest of the run. The swell barely lifts its head, with the biggest day being Thursday the 23rd, where we see a 4ft swell from the south with a short period of 7 seconds. Even then, the combined energy is a moderate 135, but the wind is a cross-shore mess from the ENE, and it’s still labelled as poor surf.
The wind is a constant problem. Most mornings and afternoons are a cross, cross-on, or cross-off breeze, with a few days like the 20th and 21st seeing fresh winds up to 22 mph. There’s a brief moment of glassy conditions on the morning of the 16th, but the swell is only 2ft with a 6-second period – it’s not going to produce a rideable wave. Honestly, for a beginner-friendly beach break with that much chop and wind, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There are no standout days. The whole period is a gap with no recommendations. It’s a blank run. For an area like this, it happens. Forecasts can change, but right now, you’re better off finding something else to do.
Rusty.
