The Lowdown

Alright, let’s chat about Avalon 15th Street. I’ll be honest with you, it’s looking pretty dead out there for a while. The water is sitting at 78°, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year—almost three and a half degrees above average. That’s the only strange thing going on.

For the next several days, the surf is totally flat or just a tiny ripple. We’re talking waves less than 2 ft, with combined energy so weak it’s barely a blip (33). The wind is mostly side or onshore, and the swell is coming from the east or southeast with short periods, so it’s weak and messy.

There’s a bit of a bump trying to show up on Wednesday afternoon, September 9th, with a 4 ft swell from the south, but the period is a super short 5 seconds. That’s windswell, not groundswell, and the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph, making it choppy and lumpy. Score is a zero. Not worth paddling out.

Thursday morning, September 10th, cleans up with a moderate westerly cross-offshore wind, and the swell is 3 ft from the south-southwest, still a short 5-second period. The combined energy is a bit better at 68, but it’s still weak. It’ll be clean, but the waves are going to be small and weak.

The rest of the week into the second week is a rinse and repeat of tiny, weak swells. There’s a moment on Wednesday, September 16th afternoon, where we get a 2 ft swell from the east-northeast with a gentle offshore wind from the north-northwest. That’s clean, but the swell is tiny and the period is only 4 seconds.

We get a little spike in combined energy on Tuesday, September 22nd afternoon, hitting 126, which is moderate, and a 3 ft swell from the east-northeast. But the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, and the period is still short at 7 seconds. It’s messy and the wave quality is poor.

Honestly, there’s no standout session in this 16-day window. The whole period is plagued by tiny swells, short periods, and less-than-ideal wind. For a beginner spot, this is flat and frustrating. The few moments of clean wind are wasted on waves that are barely ankle-high. This is a real quiet stretch for Avalon 15th Street.

Information about the Avalon 15th Street Surf forecast

A general guide to surfing at Avalon 15th Street can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
