The Lowdown
I'll level with you – this sixteen-day run is looking real flat for 10th Street (Avalon). Nothing much on the menu.
From Tuesday the 8th right through to Saturday the 12th of September, it's all tiny, weak, and messy. Swells barely push past 3 ft, and the wind is blowing every wrong direction you can think of – cross, cross-on, or straight onshore. The combined energy is weak, never getting past 78 (78) on the okay days and usually stuck in the teens. It's not worth wetting your wetsuit.
We finally see a flicker on the morning of Sunday the 13th. Swell bumps to 3 ft, but the real story is the wind: dead calm, glassy, with the NNE breeze at just 3 mph. That's your one bright spot in the first week. The waves are still pretty ordinary with a short 5-second period and combined energy of 72 (72) – soft and weak – but if you're jonesing for a peel, that's your call. Keep in mind this break is inconsistent, so don't get your hopes up too high.
After that little tease, it's back to the desert. Monday and Tuesday are all poor surf, with wind ruining any chance of clean lines.
Then around Wednesday the 16th of September, the offshore wind kicks in from the NW at 12 mph. The morning is still small at 3 ft but clean. The afternoon is the highlight: swell hits 5 ft from the NE with moderate offshore conditions. Combined energy hits 129 (129) – moderate energy, the best we'll see all forecast. It's not a classic, but for this area, that's your golden window. Being a beach/jetty setup, the longer period swell might break a bit straight, but the offshore breeze will help.
The final week is more of the same: small, weak swells, mostly 2 ft to 4 ft, combined energy rarely hitting triple digits. Offshore and cross-off winds on Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th give clean conditions, but the swell is tiny and weak – just 2 ft to 3 ft with short periods. It's essentially flat by any proper surfing standards.
Truth is, if you want a real wave, this whole fortnight is a tough one. The water temp is about average for the season, nothing special. But the lack of consistent, quality swell and the persistent crap winds mean you're better off waiting.
