Table - best surf conditions forecast for 10th Street (Avalon) over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta say, it’s a pretty bleak stretch ahead for the Avalon area. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a wave worth paddling for. The first surfable hint doesn’t show up until Sunday, the 9th of August, and even then it’s nothing to get excited about. Before that, we’ve got a solid two-week gap with nothing but closeouts, onshore slop, and tiny dribbles.
Let’s start with the only period that even gets a nod. Sunday, the 9th of August, from the afternoon, we finally see a pulse of swell – 3 ft from the south, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is weak (78) so it’s not packing much punch. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the WNW, so the surface will be clean, but the swell is short-period and small. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. 10th Street (Avalon) is a beach/jetty setup that’s fairly exposed to the south, so it’ll catch that swell, but it’s inconsistent and crowds are possible with the right conditions. Still, this is the only window in the whole 16 days, so if you’re desperate, you could get a few knee-high bumps.
The rest of the forecast is a write-off. Tiny waves, onshore winds, and combined energy values mostly in the single digits or low double digits. There’s a small spike on Sunday the 2nd of August with 5 ft to 5 ft from the south, but the wind is messy and the quality is poor. That’s the biggest swell of the period, but it’s not a surfable option.
Water temperature? The first break I mention, 10th Street, doesn’t give us a specific number, but the anomaly is neutral, so it’s about average for the time of year.
Honestly, this is one of those blank runs where the area just goes quiet. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board in the car and go for a fish.
