The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty.
Let’s be honest, the outlook is a bit grim. We’ve got a long flat spell ahead, with nothing worth paddling out for. The first week is a total write-off, with tiny, weak waves and not a hint of energy. You’d be surfing ankle-biters if you even tried. The first faint sign of life doesn’t show up until Thursday the 27th, and even that’s not much to write home about. It’s a wait of nearly a week for anything with a pulse.
The water at Avalon 15th Street is running a touch warm for the season at 77°, so that’s a small comfort, but you’ll need a whole lot of patience to go with it.
On Thursday the 27th, there’s a small bump. Swell heights stay around 2ft from the southeast, but the energy finally ticks up into a moderate range (136 to 153). It’s the most we’ll see, and the west-southwest cross-offshore wind should keep the surface clean. Still, it’s weak and unremarkable. If you’re truly desperate, that’s your window, but don’t expect magic.
After that, it fades back to nothing. The swell drops and the wind turns messy. For the rest of the period, the waves stay small and weak, with periods mostly under 8 seconds, so no real punch or shape. The end of the month and the start of September look the same – small, weak, and windy. It’s a dry run, and that’s not unusual for this spot. Forecasts can change, but right now, don’t hold your breath.
Stay patient.
Rusty.

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.
