The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Avalon 15th Street over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim run. For Avalon 15th Street, the whole 16-day window is a write-off. The forecast shows consistently poor surf conditions day after day, with tiny swell that never gets above 3 ft and is often just 1.0 ft or 1 ft. The combined wave energy is weak across the board, mostly sitting in double digits (like 42 or 45), and only briefly bumps to moderate levels on Wednesday the 2nd of September with 102 and 160, but even then, the swell is messy and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making for choppy, poor surf. There are no standouts at all – not a single slot worth paddling out for.
The water temperature is sitting at 77°, which is 4° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s notably warm, but it doesn't help the lack of waves.
From the end of August right through to the 12th of September, it’s a long, flat, blank stretch. You’d be lucky to find a ripple. The only brief moments of cleaner conditions are on the 3rd and 4th of September, with lighter offshore and cross-offshore winds and some glassy patches on the 31st of August and 8th of September, but the swell is just too small and weak to bother with. There’s nothing that qualifies as a recommendation.
If you’re desperate, you might find something to play on with a longboard during the cleaner but tiny windows, but don’t hold your breath. This kind of blank run is not unusual for the area when it goes quiet.
Rusty.
