The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a pretty grim stretch for 10th Street (Avalon). This is a beach/jetty setup that's inconsistent at the best of times, and the forecast is showing a whole lot of nothing for days on end. We're looking at a big gap of poor surf conditions from now, all the way through the first week and into the second. There's a long stretch with no real surf to speak of, with tiny, weak swells and mostly cross or onshore winds messing things up. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
The only flicker of life comes on the 18th of August, a Tuesday. We get a pulse of swell from the SE, pushing 5.6 ft to 6.6 ft, but here's the kicker – the wind is a light cross-onshore, and the period is a short, weak 6 to 7 seconds. The combined energy during that Tuesday afternoon hits 540 (moderate wave energy), so there's some push there, but the conditions are still listed as "poor surf conditions" with a score of zero. It's cleaner on the 19th, Wednesday, with a light cross-offshore breeze and a 3.6 ft to 4.3 ft swell from the E, but again, the quality is just "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." For a spot that's rarely breaking and inconsistent, this isn't the kind of pulse you want to bet the house on. The 5.6 ft swell on the 18th is getting into the size that might be a bit much for beginners, but the short period makes it a bit of a mushy mess.
Honestly, the standout, if you can call it that, is the Wednesday afternoon on the 19th of August. It's not good, but it's the least bad. With a 3.6 ft swell from the east, a light cross-offshore breeze, and clean conditions, you might find a few fun, weak ones. The rest of the window is a write-off. For this area, a blank run like this is pretty normal, so don't be too gutted. Forecasts change, but right now, I'd leave the board in the car.
