The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again for the imperial translation.
First off, the overall pattern is a long, slow burn of nothing much at all. We’ve got a big dry spell to kick things off, with basically no surf worth paddling out for. The first week is a write-off for any real rideable waves. We're talking a solid 9 days of flat, choppy, or just plain weak conditions. Keep the board in the car.
Things start to look a bit more interesting around Tuesday, September 24th. We get a pulse of swell, but it’s coupled with some pretty average winds, so the best we can say is it's marginal. The real standout window is looking like Friday, September 25th. That morning we see the combined swell energy jump to a very solid (1673) and a bit of size on offer at Avalon 15th Street. Swell is coming from the east-southeast at about 7.9ft with a period of 10 seconds – that’s got some grunt. The wind is a clean, cross-off breeze from the north-northeast at 12 mph. That’s the magic combo for this beach: clean faces from the offshore wind, and some proper wave height to push you down the line. It is a fairly exposed spot, and the optimum direction is southeast, so this is a solid match. It’s going to be a big, strong wave, pushing up near that 8ft mark, so definitely not a beginner day. For the experienced crew, this is the window. The crowds here can be an issue sometimes, but on a Friday morning you might just get lucky. Water temps are about what you’d expect for the time of year, nothing weird going on.
The afternoon of the 25th has cleaner wind but the swell starts to back off a touch. The rest of the forecast, from the 26th onward, drops back into the poor-to-marginal category, with the wind picking up and the energy fading away to nothing by the end of the month.
So, bottom line: wait for Friday, September 25th. That morning is your one clear, promising shot. Everything before that is a beach day, not a surf day.
