The Lowdown
Alright, surfer, Rusty here with the skinny. The first week and a bit is flat and pretty grim around 10th Street Avalon, with hardly anything worth paddling out for. It’s a long stretch of poor conditions and tiny surf.
Right now, Monday the 24th of August is a dud. We’ve got a pathetic 0.4m (1ft) SE swell and barely any energy (39). The water temp is pretty average for this time of year. Tuesday the 25th morning is clean with offshore wind, but still just 0.4m (1ft) knee-high stuff. Wednesday the 26th morning goes glassy, but again, tiny. The swell tries to pick up Thursday the 27th to 1.1m (4ft), but it’s a messy, short-period S swell with onshore wind. Full choppy.
The first real glimmer shows up Monday the 31st of August. Tiny 0.4m (1ft) SE swell but with a super long 18-second period. Energy hits 116, and conditions are clean. It’s small, but the quality is there.
The standout is Tuesday the 1st of September. A clean 0.6m (2ft) SE groundswell with a 15-second period. Energy jumps to 303 (moderate), and the wind is cross-offshore from the NNE. This is the best window. You’ll get longer sets and clean faces. Wednesday the 2nd September morning is similar—0.7m (2ft), 14-second period, 292 energy, with clean light winds. Still worth it.
Thursday the 3rd September morning gets bigger to 1.4m (5ft), which might be pushing it for beginners, plus it’s blown out by a fresh 30 km/h NNW wind. The afternoon cleans up with offshore wind and 1.3m (4ft) ESE swell, decent for more experienced surfers.
After that, it drops back down. The first week is a bust. The best real surf in this whole 16-day window is Tuesday the 1st of September. Don’t hold your breath for the later stuff, forecasts can flip.
Rusty.
