Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s tell it straight: this stretch at Avalon 15th Street just isn’t cooperating for a solid wave. Looking at the whole 16-day run, the swell is tiny and the conditions are messy for the most part, so we've got a long wait on our hands.

We start from the very beginning, and it’s a tough watch. Friday the 3rd has a tiny 1ft SE swell with a cross-shore wind, and the water is sitting at 73°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. But honestly, the surf is flat and poor, and that pretty much sets the tone. Saturday the 4th through to the morning of Monday the 13th is a real desert. Day after day of knee-high slop, maybe ankle-biters, with just about every wind direction you can think of messing it up. There’s a little blip on Sunday morning the 5th with glassy conditions on a 1.0ft ESE swell, but the energy is only at (13) – it’s barely a ripple. The whole first week plus is a write-off for any meaningful wave.

Now, things finally try to get going on the afternoon of Monday the 13th of July. We see some combined energy showing up (173), and a clean cross-off wind with waves hitting about 3ft from the E. The commentary says it's "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" which is about right. That little pickup continues into Wednesday the 15th, where the morning has the best-looking window on offer: a 4ft SSE swell (198) with clean, cross-offshore wind. It’s the standout by a long way – swell direction is from the SSE, and this spot’s optimum is SE, so that’s not a perfect match, but with clean wind and that moderate energy, it's the best we’ll get. By the afternoon, the wind swings and chops it up.

Thursday morning the 16th of July is another clean, glassy moment with a 4ft S swell (186), but again, it's just "surfable," not firing. After that, it drops back off into the doldrums for the rest of the forecast. So there you have it: if you’re desperate for a paddle, Wednesday the 15th morning is your one chance for something half-decent on a beginner-friendly wave, but don’t expect any barrels. The rest is a skunk.

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.

Avalon 15th Street is 23 km (14 miles) from Ocean City. If you plan a vacation in New Jersey, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ocean City. Ocean City has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
