The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch of coast is looking pretty quiet over the next 16 days. There’s no real swell to get excited about, and most of what we see is small, weak, and sloppy. We’ve got a long gap of nothing worthwhile from the start all the way through to the second week, so don’t be in a rush to paddle out.
Avalon 15th Street is the only spot on the cards, and honestly, it’s a tough watch. The water is running at 78° – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, like summer is hanging on for dear life. The first few days are a total write-off: tiny waves, mostly 0.7 ft to 2 ft, winds are all over the place, and the combined wave energy is weak (values under 60). The swell direction is mostly SE or E, but the periods are short, under 8 seconds, so there’s no push.
The first real sign of life shows up on the morning of Saturday, September 12th. We get a jump in swell to 5 ft from the E, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 206 (moderate wave energy), and the wind is cross-off from the NNW at 12 mph. That’ll clean things up a bit. The afternoon improves slightly – offshore NW wind at 9 mph, gentle and clean, with the same 5 ft E swell. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so it’s not a standout, but it’s the best we’ve got. This is a beginner-friendly break, and 5 ft is at the top end for learners, so take it easy.
After that, it drops back down. The rest of the second week sees small swell – 2 ft to 4 ft – with periods under 9 seconds and mostly cross or cross-on winds. The combined energy dips again (mostly under 100). The southeast swell on Saturday, September 19th afternoon brings a 0.7 ft ESE swell with a period of 12 seconds, but the wind is onshore, and the energy is weak at 32. That long period is a glimmer of groundswell, but it’s too small to do anything with at a beach break.
Bottom line: there’s one semi-decent window on Saturday, September 12th with 5 ft E swell and clean offshore winds. Get on it if you’re desperate, but otherwise, don’t hold your breath. The setup is too weak for kiting too.
Rusty.
