The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again. The outlook at Avalon 15th Street for the next couple of weeks is a total bust. I mean, it’s flat, it’s small, it’s poor – take your pick. No real surf to speak of. The whole 16-day stretch has zero good options, so we’re looking at a long gap with nothing worth paddling out for.
Wednesday the 15th starts off clear and clean with a 0.3ft SE swell, period 9 seconds, combined energy real weak at 18, and a 12 mph cross-off west wind. Water temp is 75°, feeling a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but there’s no wave to ride. Thursday and Friday aren’t any better: 0.3ft to 0.5ft, terrible short period (3 to 5 seconds), energy as low as 7. Friday morning gets a brief glass-off with 3 mph NE wind, swell from the SSE at 0.4ft and 5 seconds, energy 15, but it’s still labeled poor.
Saturday the 18th brings light rain and risk of t-storms, onshore chop, tiny waves. Into the second week, from the 22nd through the 30th of July, nothing changes. The best little bump comes on the 26th Sunday morning: 0.8ft S swell, 7-second period, combined energy at 62, with a gentle 9 mph NW offshore wind making things clean. But it’s still poor surf conditions.
No standout, no real recommendation. This area goes flat sometimes, so this is normal. Any small wave beginner could mess around on the 26th, but for everyone else? No. Given the tiny swell and poor quality, with some windier afternoons, this setup is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. That’s the word.

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.
