The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. I’ve looked through the next 16 days for Avalon 15th Street and honestly, there’s not a single session worth chasing. Every entry comes back as poor surf conditions – flat, weak, messy, or just too small to do anything with. The water’s running at 76°F with an anomaly of 3°F, so it’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s about the only highlight.
We start Friday 17 July afternoon – tiny 1 ft SSE swell, period only 4 seconds, cross‑shore breeze, combined energy a measly 7. Not even a ripple worth sliding. Saturday 18 July sees a bump to 2 ft in the morning and 5 ft by afternoon, but onshore winds and thunderstorms ruin it. The 5 ft swell has a bit more guts (energy 116) but it’s short‑period (5 sec) and cross‑onshore – ugly.
Sunday 19 July morning brings a brief moment of hope: offshore NW breeze at 9 mph, clean, with a 2 ft SSE swell (period 7 sec). Still too tiny for any real wave face, but at least it’s glassy. That afternoon the wind stays offshore but the swell drops to 2 ft. After that, the pattern stays flat: Monday 20 July through to Thursday 31 July only offers swells between 1 ft and 4 ft, mostly cross‑onshore or onshore, with the occasional clean window. Wednesday 22 July morning has the biggest combo – 4 ft SSE swell, period 9 seconds, cross‑offshore wind, energy hitting 254 – but the wave comment is still poor. For a beginner break like Avalon 15th Street, that size is actually manageable, but the quality just isn’t there.
Mid‑week second week, Saturday 25 July morning goes glassy calm with a 2 ft SE swell (period 9 sec) – clean but tiny. Energy 42. The rest of the run is more of the same: knee‑high dribble, short period, and a persistent side or onshore wind. There’s no standout, no shoulder‑hopping session, nothing that gets the heart rate up. Avalon 15th Street is usually fairly consistent with its SE‑based swells, but this forecast window is a total dud.
Sometimes these blank runs don’t last – forecasts can shift. But for now, leave the board in the car and wait for a better pulse. If you’re desperate, you might get a few ankle‑biters on the morning of 25 July, but don’t get your hopes up.
