The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Avalon 15th Street over the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – the opening stretch is a real quiet one. We’re looking at a solid 10-day gap of poor surf conditions from the start of the forecast all the way through Friday, September 5th. There’s barely a ripple worth paddling for, so don’t bother waxing up just yet. The water temperature is sitting at 77°, which is 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s notably warm, like a bath, but the waves just aren’t there.
The first real sign of life shows up on the afternoon of Saturday, September 5th. The wind swings offshore from the NW at 16 mph, and we get a clean 4 ft swell from the east. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s a bit of a short-period windswell, not a groundswell, but the wind is offshore and the surf is clean. The combined energy hits 344 (moderate wave energy). This is the standout of the entire forecast – it’s the only time we see “expect good surf conditions” in the data. The swell direction is east, which is close to the optimum from the southeast for this break, so it’s working. It’s a fairly exposed beach, so the offshore wind is key here. Crowds are possible at this spot, and it’s a beginner-friendly wave, but at 4 ft, it’s a fun size for most.
After that Saturday afternoon burst, the surf drops off again. Sunday the 6th is clean but small, with 2 ft to 4 ft of messy, short-period slop, and the energy is weak to moderate. The rest of the second week into September 10th is all poor conditions – clean looking but tiny, with barely any push. The swell is small and the periods are short, so it’s not worth getting excited about.
So, bottom line: if you’re sitting on the fence, make a move for Saturday afternoon, September 5th. That’s your one shot at something decent. Everything else is a flat spell or a close-out. Hang tight, and check back later – sometimes these forecasts shift.
Rusty.
