The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. I’ve gotta be straight with you—this outlook for the Avalon region is a tough one. We’re staring down a long, quiet run with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The next week and a half is dominated by tiny, weak swells and unfriendly winds, so you’re best off keeping the board in the car and maybe checking the forecast again later.
The only spot in the frame is 10th Street (Avalon), a beach and jetty setup that’s inconsistent at the best of times. It’s fairly exposed, but the swell just isn’t delivering. Water temp is sitting at 78°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s one small comfort if you’re just going for a swim.
Starting off Sunday afternoon the 9th of August, we’ve got a weak 2 ft S swell with a short 6-second period—combined energy is a paltry 39—and a cross-shore breeze making things choppy. Not worth a look. Monday the 10th is even worse, with almost nothing on offer. Tuesday the 11th has a tiny 0.3 ft SE swell and a clean offshore NW wind, but it’s just not enough to push through. This flat spell drags on day after day. The swell tries to pop a bit on Sunday the 16th of August, with a 4 ft S swell, but the period is still short (5 seconds), and a fresh cross-onshore wind at 22 mph makes it lumpy and messy. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than paddle surfing.
The only glimmer comes late in the run. On Wednesday the 19th of August afternoon, we finally see a bump in energy. The swell is 3 ft from the SE with a 12-second period—that’s a proper groundswell, giving better shaped waves and longer gaps between sets. The combined energy hits 203, which is moderate. Winds turn light and cross-offshore, so conditions clean up. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Still, if you’re desperate, that’s your best window. Thursday the 20th holds some 2 ft SE swell with 11-second period and light cross-shore winds, but energy drops back to 111. After that, it fades again into tiny leftovers.
Given the inconsistency of 10th Street, this long stretch of poor surf isn’t totally unusual. Keep the stoke, mate—forecasts can change. But for now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
