The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day stretch for 10th Street (Avalon) is about as flat and shifty as it gets. The water temperature sits at 24°, which is a touch above average for this time of year, but you won’t be needing your wettie for the waves because there’s barely any.
From the start, we’ve got a long, dry spell. The first few days show a mix of tiny, weak swell and poor winds. Sunday afternoon (August 2nd) serves up just 3ft of short-period SSE swell at 5 seconds, with a cross-onshore breeze and weak energy (45). It’s a write-off. Monday and Tuesday don’t get any better, with stormy conditions and no real surf. Wednesday morning (August 5th) has a tiny 0.3ft of NE swell, again nothing to paddle for. Thursday afternoon (August 6th) sees a jump to 5ft from the south, but the period is a short 6 seconds, the wind is cross-onshore, and the energy kicks up to moderate (132). Still, the comment says it all: poor surf conditions. The same story rolls through Friday and into Saturday morning (August 8th), where we finally get a cleaner window – 3ft of SSW swell at 6 seconds, with a cross-offshore breeze and moderate energy (108). The surf is surfable but very ordinary. That’s the best we’ve got, and it’s not much.
The rest of the outlook is a desert. Sunday morning (August 9th) drops to 1ft, and from there, it’s a string of tiny swells, mostly under 2ft, with poor period and messy winds. There’s a brief moment on Tuesday morning (August 11th) with a clean cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3ft. Thursday morning (August 13th) brings a long-period 14-second SE swell, but it’s only 0.3ft and straight onshore – no good. The same pattern continues through to the end of the 16 days, with nothing breaking the 3ft mark and no quality conditions.
Honestly, there’s no standout worth chasing here. The only real highlight is that Saturday morning (August 8th) with clean-ish conditions, but it’s still small and uninspiring. If you’re desperate, you could paddle out for a few grovelly ones, but it’s a tough run. The lack of consistent spots means this blank spell is normal for the area. Hang in there, and keep an eye on the forecasts – things can change.
