The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the stretch ahead for 10th Street (Avalon). Gotta be straight with you – this is gonna be a long, quiet wait. The whole 16-day window is mostly a bust. There’s a big gap of nothing worthwhile until the very tail end.

The water is sitting at 77° right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Feels nice if you’re just floating, but with the surf being so poor, it’s not much comfort.

We start on Tuesday the 18th with nothing – risk of thunderstorms and a tiny 1ft swell from the SE. That sets the tone. Day after day, it’s just small, weak swell with poor conditions. The wind is mostly cross or cross-on, chopping up what little energy there is. The combined swell energy barely gets into double digits most days, sitting around 20-60 points – that’s weak.

There’s a brief flicker of hope on Wednesday morning the 19th: a 2ft SE swell with a 10-second period and clean conditions under a light W cross-off wind. But it’s still just 61 energy units and the 2/5 rating says it all – not worth paddling out for. The rest of that week and into the next is the same story: tiny, wind-affected leftovers.

We finally see something surfable on Sunday the 30th of August. The swell picks up a touch to 2ft from the ESE with a 9-second period. More importantly, the wind goes light and variable, turning cross-off in the morning and even offshore in the afternoon from the WNW. Combined energy hits 70. Finally, the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s not pumping, but it’s clean. Monday the 31st morning keeps that same 2ft swell with a clean cross-off breeze from the NNE.

That’s really your only window. A couple of mornings at the very end of August where you could maybe get a few crumbly little ones to yourself. It’s inconsistent here, so a blank run like this isn’t totally shocking. But I’d keep an eye on the forecast – it tends not to stay this flat forever.

Rusty signing off.
