The Lowdown
Alright, let me break this down for you. Since you tossed me a single JSON pair, I'll treat it as its own little world – the surf scene around 10th Street (Avalon).
First off, I gotta be straight with ya: this stretch of the next 16 days looks pretty bleak. We're talking about a run of small, weak, and mostly messy surf. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild to report there. The main issue is that the swell direction is coming from the SE mostly, and this break likes it from the NE. That mismatch is a killer.
We start off with nothing. From Sunday the 30th of August right through to Tuesday the 1st of September, it's all "poor surf conditions" with tiny 1ft to 2ft junk. The wave energy is super weak, barely hitting 30 or so. Not a single wave worth paddling for.
Wednesday the 2nd of September morning is the closest we get to something. The swell bumps up to 2ft from the SE, with a period of 11 seconds – that's a bit of a longer period, which means a bit more push and shape. The combined energy jumps to 114 (moderate), and the wind turns offshore from the NNW at just 3 mph. That's clean. It's surfable, but it's really ordinary. With the swell being so small, it's still a struggle to get a decent ride, and this break is already inconsistent. Not exactly a standout.
Then it’s right back to the doldrums. For the next week and a half, from the 3rd of September all the way through to the 14th of September, the story is the same: tiny 1.0ft to 2ft surf, with the swell energy dropping back into the teens and twenties. The wind chops around from all over, but the swell just isn't there. There are a few glassy mornings on the 4th and 5th of September, but with 1ft of swell, it's essentially flat.
Honestly, if you're in the Avalon area and you're desperate for a paddle, Wednesday morning the 2nd of September is your only real window, and I'd keep expectations in the basement. Otherwise, for the next two weeks, the board stays in the bag. The forecasts can change, but right now, this is a proper blank run.
