The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch at 10th Street (Avalon) is looking like a bit of a flat spell with no real surf to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is a dud, with not a single decent wave on offer. We’ve got a long gap of nothing from Monday the 17th all the way through.
The water is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, 77°, but that’s about the only thing worth noting.
Monday the 17th kicks off with clear skies and a light W cross-off breeze, but the swell is basically non-existent – zero combined energy. Tuesday the 18th stays tiny, with a 0.3 ft SE swell at 12 seconds, but it’s so weak it’s barely a ripple. The wind stays light and variable.
Wednesday the 19th offers a little 2 ft SE swell at 10 seconds, but it’s a cross-shore mess with a light chop. Not worth paddling out. Thursday the 20th brings a glassy morning with a 1 ft SE swell at 8 seconds – clean, but tiny. The risk of thunderstorms hangs around.
Friday the 21st has a 1 ft ESE swell, but the wind is up to 12 mph from the NE, creating a cross-chop. Saturday the 22nd sees another glassy morning with a 1 ft ESE swell, but again, it’s just too small. The afternoon shows a 2 ft E swell at a pathetic 4-second period, with a light offshore wind.
Sunday the 23rd to Monday the 24th offers a bit more swell energy, with a 2 ft S swell at 6 seconds and a 1 ft SE swell at 12 seconds, but the combined energy is still weak, and the wind is either cross or offshore. The 1 ft SE swell at 12 seconds on Monday the 24th with a 9 mph offshore breeze is about as clean as it gets, but it’s just not enough wave to ride.
Tuesday the 25th shows a blip: a 4 ft S swell at 5 seconds, pushing the combined energy up to 113 (moderate), but with a cross-shore wind and a short period, it’s lumpy and messy. Wednesday the 26th through Friday the 28th sees the swell energy climb, with a 4 ft SE swell at 13 seconds on Friday the 28th, pushing the combined energy to 732 (strong). But the wind is howling from the NE at 19 mph, creating a lumpy cross-chop. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle surfing one.
The last few days of the month and into September stay small and weak, with winds shifting around. The best you could hope for is a clean, glassy morning with a tiny swell, but it’s just not going to be worth the effort.
Bottom line: No standouts, no real surf. The 16-day window is a flat, quiet period. If you’re desperate, the cleanest windows are on the glassy mornings, but the waves just aren’t there. This is a typical blank run for the area.
Rusty.
