Table - best surf conditions forecast for Avalon 15th Street over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you. Right now, looking down the road, there’s just nothing to get excited about for a surf. We’ve got a full 16-day window starting now, and it’s a complete blank run. There are no good surf options on offer across the whole period. This stretch is gonna be a tough one for anyone hunting waves.
The only break in the mix is Avalon 15th Street. It's a beginner-friendly spot, fairly exposed to swell, but the conditions just aren't cooperating. The water is sitting at about 76°F right now, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
For Tuesday the 7th, we’re looking at a weak 2ft swell from the ENE with a short 6-second period. The combined energy is a paltry 52, which is weak, and the cross-shore winds are not helping. It’s a no-go. That same poor story carries through Wednesday, Thursday, and beyond. The swell stays tiny, the period is short, and the winds are mostly cross or onshore, creating chop. We get a few moments of clean conditions on Friday morning the 10th with a light cross-offshore, but the swell is only 1ft from the SSE. You’d be fighting for dribbles.
The pattern just doesn’t change. A couple of mornings on the 15th and 16th of July look clean with cross-offshore winds, but the waves are anemic – 1.0ft to 2ft at best. It’s not worth paddling out for. Even the glassy conditions on the morning of Saturday the 18th are let down by a tiny 0.7ft swell. This is as flat as it gets.
There’s a slight pickup in energy around the 20th to the 22nd of July with a 2ft SSE swell and period hitting 8 seconds, but the wind turns fresh and lumpy. The energy creeps up a bit, hitting 59 on Monday the 20th, but that’s still in the weak range for a break like this. The onshore flow will make a mess of anything that shows up.
So, for the next two and a half weeks, put the board away. Usually, this area can have dead runs like this, and it’s best to wait for a better pattern. Forecasts can change, but for now, there’s no point.

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.
