The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – I’ve looked over the next 16 days for 10th Street (Avalon), and I’m not going to sugarcoat it. This is a rough stretch for paddlers. The first surfable waves don't even show up in the recommendations until later, but the setup is poor for the whole window. We’ve got a long, quiet gap with almost nothing worth your time until the middle of the second week.
The first real pulse of energy arrives around Tuesday, August 19th. The morning brings a chest-high swell from the SE, but it’s a long-period groundswell at 13 seconds, and the wind is onshore at 12 mph from the south. That’s going to make for choppy, lumpy, messy conditions. The combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate (231). This is a beach/jetty break, so that long-period swell is likely to break too straight and close out. Honestly, the wind is fresh and the cross-onshore chop is going to make it a battle. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
A little later on Thursday, August 21st, we get a slight improvement. The morning has a waist-high SE swell – 2 ft – with a 10-second period and a cross-shore from the NE at 9 mph. The combined energy is moderate (120). The wind is gentle, so the surface will be a bit cleaner, but the waves are small and the period is average. It’s surfable, but it’s not going to punch above its weight. Crowds are possible here, but with conditions this tame, it’s hard to get excited.
If you’re desperate, the only real standout I can point to is the early morning of Saturday, August 23rd. It’s not a classic, but the swell is the most consistent we’ve seen: 3 ft from the ESE, period 12 seconds, and a light cross-shore from the SSW at 6 mph. The combined energy is moderate (183). The wind is light, so the surface will have small ripples but should be reasonably clean. Still, the waves are on the small side and the period is long, which can mess with the shape at a beach break.
Overall, this is a dry spell. There’s not a single session that screams “go now.” The swell is too small, the wind is often wrong, and the wave quality is poor. It’s one of those quiet runs for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d keep the board in the bag and wait for a better window.
