The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s on offer for Avalon 15th Street over the next 16 days.
To be straight with you, the first couple of weeks are slim pickings. From Saturday morning, 8 August, right through to Friday, 21 August, we’ve got a run of poor surf conditions. The combined swell energy is weak, mostly under 100 (like 42 down to 13), with tiny waves around 1 ft to 3 ft and short, choppy periods. The wind is a mixed bag of cross-off and cross-shore breezes, but with these tiny heights, clean faces don’t mean much. There’s just no power behind them. This stretch is basically a no-go for a proper paddle session.
The real blank run is long. You’re looking at almost two weeks of flat, poor surf. The first real glimmer comes on Saturday, 22 August. The afternoon brings a bit of energy from the SE at 3 ft and a 12-second period, with combined energy jumping to 179. That’s moderate energy, but the wind is a gentle cross-onshore, making it a bit choppy. Still, it’s the best we’ve seen by a long shot.
The standout of the whole forecast, though, is Sunday morning, 23 August. We’ve got a 5 ft swell rolling in from the S with a 7-second period. The combined energy hits 313, which is moderate-strong. The wind is light and cross-shore from the SSW, so the surface will be clean with just small ripples. For Avalon 15th Street, that’s a legit session. At 5 ft, it’s a bit much for beginners, but for the average surfer, it’s a solid morning. The swell direction (S) matches the optimum (SE) reasonably well, so it’ll wrap in with some shape. Expect a few people out, as crowds are sometimes an issue here.
Water temperature is about average for the time of year, no real anomaly to speak of, so you won’t be freezing.
In summary, ignore the first two weeks. Sunday, 23 August, is your only real window. Get out there early.
