The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight up – this forecast for 10th Street (Avalon) is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple for most of the 16-day window. The first real chance of anything even vaguely surfable doesn’t show up until Saturday, August 8th, and even then it’s a one-hit wonder.
Right now, we’re stuck in a run of tiny, gutless waves. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping the surface messy. The energy is weak, with most days sitting in the single digits or low tens (12 to 90). It’s a real struggle to find a wave worth paddling for.
The best we’ve got in the whole outlook is Saturday morning, August 8th. The swell jumps to 4 ft from the SSW, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy hits 152, which is moderate but still pretty ordinary. The wind turns cross-offshore from the WSW, so the lineup cleans up nicely. It’ll be a light breeze, making for a clean session. The water temp is about average for the time of year. This is a glimmer, but it’s not a standout – just the best of a bad bunch. The swell is small enough for intermediates, but it’s inconsistent, so don’t count on heaps of waves.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. A few pulses of swell appear later in the second week – like Thursday, August 14th with a 5 ft SSW swell (164 energy) and Friday, August 14th morning with 4 ft – but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, so the quality is poor. The last day, Sunday, August 16th morning, sees a bigger 5 ft ENE swell with a massive 394 energy reading, but it’s cross-on and the period is 10 seconds, so it’ll be a messy, lumpy affair only for the keen.
Honestly, if you’re desperate, the Saturday morning of August 8th is your only real look. The rest of the time, the setup is better for a kite than a surfboard. Conditions are just too ordinary for most of the period.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on those forecasts.
Rusty.
