The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer at 10th Street (Avalon).
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are looking pretty flat and ordinary for a proper surf. The water’s sitting at a super warm 77°F right now, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bath out there.
The first real chance to get wet won’t be until Thursday afternoon, the 3rd of September. We’ll see a small 3ft swell from the ESE, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is in the moderate range (105). The wind is a light cross-offshore, keeping things clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Not a standout.
Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th stay tiny, with clean conditions but nothing to get excited about – you’ll be fighting for knee-high slop.
Sunday the 6th sees a bump in size to 4ft from the ENE, but it’s short period at 7 seconds and the wind is a messy cross-shore. The energy is moderate (142), but the quality is poor. Looks more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle session.
The surf is pretty much a write-off until the 14th of September. There’s a long gap of days with nothing worthwhile.
The best of the whole outlook, and it’s not a stunner, shows up on Wednesday the 16th of September. Morning sees clean 3ft from the east, with a light offshore wind from the NNW. The period is short at 6 seconds, so it’s windswell, but in clean conditions you might scratch out a few grovelly ones. The energy is moderate (82). By Thursday the 17th, we get a bit more energy – 3ft from the east, 8-second period, and light offshore or cross-offshore winds. The combined energy hits 148, which is the best we’ll see. It’s clean, but still just ordinary. If you’re desperate, this is your window.
Honestly, this is a tough stretch. The consistent lack of quality swell, with short periods and often funky wind, means 10th Street is barely worth a look. We’ll be waiting for a better pulse.
Rusty.
