The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the table at 10th Street (Avalon). I won’t sugarcoat it – this stretch is running pretty flat and ordinary for most of the next two weeks. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
The first proper chance to even call it surf comes Thursday the 3rd – small lumpy stuff, 2ft of SE swell with 9-second intervals. Combined energy is weak, so don’t expect much push. Winds are cross-off and light, keeping it clean, but it’s really just waist-high dribble. That’s about as good as it gets, and that’s saying something.
Friday the 4th through Saturday the 5th drops off hard – tiny 1ft leftovers with period bottoming out at 7-8 seconds, energy in the teens and low twenties. Sunday the 6th sees a spike in size to 5-5ft of short-period ENE windswell, but the wind cranks cross-shore at 12-18 mph, making it a lumpy, choppy mess. Combined energy hits moderate levels, but it’s poor quality – honestly, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th bring back small clean waves, 2-3ft of ENE swell at 8-10 seconds, with light cross-off winds. Energy sits in the low hundreds, but it’s still just surfable, not exciting. Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th offer 3ft of SW/SSW swell with periods down to 5-6 seconds, cross to offshore winds, but energy is weak and the shape is poor.
From Friday the 11th through Monday the 14th, it’s a real drought – tiny waves 0.5-2ft, mostly poor conditions, with a brief blip Monday afternoon (14th) offering 3ft of short-period S swell with offshore wind, but energy is still low. Then Tuesday the 15th morning stays flat, but Tuesday afternoon things go glassy with 2ft of E swell at 8 seconds – energy moderate, clean and rideable, but small.
The standout of this whole outlook? It’s gotta be Wednesday the 16th – clean 3ft of E swell with 10-second period and light cross-off wind. Combined energy hits 156, the best all period. Still not big, but in this flat spell, that morning window is your best bet.
Overall, there’s a big gap from Thursday the 5th right through to Tuesday the 15th with hardly anything worth paddling out for. The consistency is poor – 10th Street is an inconsistent spot, and this forecast shows why. Still, there are a couple of clean moments if you’re desperate.
Stay patient, Rusty
