The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's get straight into it for our little stretch of coast.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with ya, it’s looking pretty bleak for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a massive dry spell on the cards, and the only break on the books is 10th Street (Avalon). It’s an inconsistent little beach and jetty set-up, and it just doesn’t have the juice for the foreseeable future. We’re looking at a solid 16-day run with basically no surf worth paddling out for.
The water is sitting at a very warm 78°, which is a lot warmer than usual for this time of year – feels more like mid-summer.
From this Sunday (6th September) morning, the swell is tiny, only 1 ft from the ENE with a weak period of 7 seconds. The energy is a paltry (18), and even though the wind is a clean cross-off, it’s just too small to bother with. This flat pattern just drags on and on. Monday and Tuesday offer nothing but knee-high slop. By Wednesday the 9th, the wind cranks up from the SSW, making a mess of the 3 ft swell on offer.
Thursday the 10th through to the 12th is more of the same – tiny surf and rubbish conditions. The combined energy only breaks into the three-digit range briefly on Sunday the 13th, hitting (110) from the E, but with a short 7-second period and a cross-on wind, it’s just a messy, weak windswell. Monday the 14th is choppy and blown out.
We get a little offshore blow from the NNW on Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th, but the swell direction swings around to the SSE and it’s still only 3 ft to 4 ft with a period of just 4 to 5 seconds. That’s basically a wind bump, not a wave. The energy is still weak, sitting at (68) and (97). It’s worth mentioning that on the 15th and 16th, with the offshore wind and that bumpy short-period swell, 10th Street might actually look more interesting for a kite session than a paddle session.
After that, the 17th of September sees a weird little spike in period to 13 seconds from the ESE, but the height drops to a pathetic 0.7 ft. A long-period groundswell like that with no height is a total tease.
The final weekend, the 20th and 21st, is the same story. Sunday the 20th morning has a brief window of glassy conditions with 1 ft from the ESE and a moderate (55) energy, but it’s just not enough. It’s clean, but flat. The whole period is a write-off. There’s just nothing on offer here. Keep the board in the car, check back later, and hope the forecasts change.
