The Lowdown
Howdy, Rusty here. Let’s be real about Avalon 15th Street for the next couple weeks—it’s a long dry spell. The water’s a touch warmer than usual for July, sitting at about 76°, but that don’t help the waves. We’re looking at mostly tiny, wind-chopped junk.
The first glimmer of a clean session doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 29th. We get a 3ft swell from the SSE at 8 seconds with moderate energy (124), and a clean offshore wind from the NW. It’ll look smooth, but the waves are small. Thursday the 30th morning sees a light NW breeze and a tiny 2ft groundswell from the ENE with weak energy (76). Barely a ripple. The best of a bad run is Thursday the 6th of August: morning and afternoon both show a clean 3ft swell from the S, light cross-offshore breeze, and moderate energy. Friday the 7th of August morning goes dead flat with glassy conditions and a 2ft S swell.
There is no real standout here. The waves are too small to get excited about, even when the wind plays nice. If you’re desperate for a warm-water float on a longboard, maybe Thursday the 30th or the 6th of August could work, but this is a classic case of "leave the board at home." Hope the forecast changes, but for now, it’s a bust.

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.
