The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but in feet and miles.
Let’s be real – the next two weeks are a bust for Avalon 15th Street. We’re looking at a long, flat stretch with nothing that’s going to get you out of bed. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off.
Starting Tuesday afternoon, August 4th, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the south, but the wind is cross-onshore and it’s choppy. The wave energy is weak at 76. Water temp is about 76°, which is a degree warmer than average, so it’s a little bath-like, but that’s the only good news.
Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th are just as poor – same small south swell, messy winds, and energy dropping into the 20s and 50s. Friday the 7th morning cleans up with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is still only around 3ft with a short 6-second period, so it’s weak and lifeless. Energy is only 49.
From Saturday the 8th through the middle of the second week, it’s the same story: tiny swell, mostly under 2ft, short periods, and energy readings barely hitting 30 or 40. A few mornings are clean – Sunday the 9th, Monday the 10th, and Wednesday the 12th – but with almost no swell, it’s flat. By Thursday the 13th, the swell drops to 1ft with an energy of just 17, and Friday the 14th morning is even smaller at 2ft with a pitiful 15 energy. The wind is clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
The last few days, from the 16th to the 19th of August, are the worst. Sunday the 16th morning is glassy – light wind from the northwest – but the swell is only 1ft with an energy of 11. That’s barely a bump. Monday the 17th has a 9-second period swell from the SSE, but it’s only 0.6ft and the energy is just 7. The rest of the week is the same: tiny, weak, and not worth the effort.
If you’re itching for a paddle, the cleanest mornings are Friday the 7th or Sunday the 9th, but you’ll be on ankle-biters. For anyone looking for real waves, this is a good time to take a break. Forecasts can always change, but right now, there’s nothing doing.
Rusty.

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.
