The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Lets have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s gonna be a pretty quiet stretch. Right from the start, we’ve got nothin’ really worth paddling out for. The first week is flat, or close to it, with tiny dribbles that won't get you excited. You're looking at a run of poor surf conditions right through until at least the middle of the second week, so don’t get your hopes up for any quick hits.
The first time we even see a hint of something is on Sunday the 6th of September, but that’s still a struggle. Avalon 15th Street is showing a mess: on Sunday morning, a 3ft swell from the ENE with a tiny 4-second period and a strong cross-shore wind from the NE at 19 mph. That’s not surf, that’s a washing machine. The energy is weak at only 24, and the afternoon isn’t much better with 4ft from the east, still short and lumpy. That’s a pass for me.
The week after, we get a little glimmer. On Monday the 14th of September, the afternoon picks up an offshore breeze from the WNW at 9 mph, paired with a 3ft SSE swell, but the period is a pathetic 4 seconds. The energy is a mere 45. It’s clean, sure, but there’s no punch. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
The real standout—if I have to pick one—is Tuesday the 15th of September. The afternoon turns glassy with a light northerly breeze at just 3 mph and a 1ft ESE swell. The swell period is a decent 8 seconds, but the combined energy is still only 46. It’s small, but it’ll be the cleanest we’ve seen all week. A longboard might get you a few fun ones, but don’t expect any power.
Honestly, the best option in this whole 16-day outlook is Tuesday the 15th of September glassy afternoon. It’s small, but glassy is glassy, and for a stretch this flat, that’s as good as it gets.
Rusty.

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. Our Avalon 15th Street surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Avalon 15th Street) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
