The Lowdown
Alright, it’s Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days look flat as a pancake for Avalon 15th Street. There’s no good surf to be had, so if you’re hanging for a wave, you might wanna take up dodgeball for a while.
Let’s run through it. The whole 16-day window, from August 31st right through to September 15th, is a total blank. Zero scores. No standouts, no sneaky little swells. Just a whole lot of nothing. The first few days are tiny, with ankle-slappers around 1 ft to 2 ft from the SE and ESE, but the wind is all over the shop – cross-on, cross, cross-off – and it’s just messy. The energy is weak, barely pushing triple digits (13 to 19 on the combined energy scale) for the first couple of days, so you’re not missing anything.
Come Thursday, September 3rd, we get a slight bump to 2 ft – 2 ft with a bit more energy (128), but it’s still poor surf conditions. The wind stays tricky, and the swell is short period, so nothing’s lining up. The weekend of September 5th-6th is a write-off too, with the swell dropping to 0.7 ft before a tiny 3 ft pulse on Sunday the 6th (127 energy), but it’s from the E with a cross-on breeze. Not worth paddling out for.
The middle of the week from September 7th to 10th is the same story – small, weak, and poor. A bit of offshore wind on the 7th morning keeps it clean, but with only 2 ft and 76 energy, it’s barely a ripple. By the 11th and 12th, we get a little more life with a 4 ft south swell on Friday the 11th afternoon, and even some offshore winds, but the period is a short 5 seconds. The combined energy only hits 54 and 64, so it’s weak and shifty. The big ramp up to 4 ft on Monday the 14th afternoon (130 energy) is from the NE with a cross-on wind again – not ideal.
The water at Avalon 15th Street is a balmy 77°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, by 5°F, so at least you can have a nice swim.
Honestly, with no decent surf and the wind howling from the SW on some days, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s a tough run, but it tends not to stay poor for long around here, and forecasts can change. Keep your eyes peeled, but for now, it’s a no-go.
Rusty.

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.
