The Lowdown
Alright, let's get real. I'm lookin' at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and honestly, it's a tough watch. We've got a long stretch of nothin' really going on. The first real surfable day is a long way off, so don't get your hopes up for the near future.
The pick of the entire run is a late-bloomer. We're looking at Friday, 14th of August as the best chance for a session. It's not a world-beater, but it's the best we've got.
Here's the breakdown:
We start off with a big gap. From now until the morning of the 14th, it's a write-off. The wind is all over the place, the swell is tiny, and the energy is pathetic. There's a bit of a pulse on the 6th of August, with a 5 ft swell from the South, but the wind is cross-onshore from the SSW at 16 mph, just churning it up. The combined energy hits 151, which is moderate, but it's just messy. For a beach/jetty setup like 10th Street (Avalon), that's more of a kite-surfing chop than a paddle-surfing wave.
The real talk starts on the morning of Thursday, 14th of August. The swell is 4 ft from the South, with a weak 6-second period. The combined energy is 93, so it's weak. But the wind is light from the South at 6 mph, making it a light cross-onshore. It's not perfect, but it's the cleanest we've seen. The afternoon gets a bit bigger, 5 ft from the South, but the wind picks up to 12 mph from the same direction, making it cross-onshore and choppy again. The energy jumps to 149 here, so there's some push, but that wind is gonna ruin it for the afternoon session.
For the morning of the 14th, if you're itching for a paddle, that's your window. 4 ft South swell at 10th Street (Avalon) with light wind. It's not gonna be epic, but it's the only thing that's even close to rideable. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing crazy to report.
Beyond that, it's back to tiny, weak swells and clean but empty lineups. The 15th and 16th have some clean, cross-offshore winds, but the swell is only 0.7 ft. You'll be floating.
So, to sum it up: the wait is long, and the payoff is small. If you're a die-hard, the morning of the 14th is your only real shot. Otherwise, keep the board in the car and wait for the next system.
