The Lowdown
G’day, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you about 10th Street (Avalon). This is a beach and jetty set-up, and it’s an inconsistent little stretch that rarely lights up. Over the next 16 days, we’ve got a long, long blank run – no real surf to speak of until the end of the second week. The first solid sniff of a wave comes way down the track.
The water temp is sitting around 75° here, which is about normal for this time of year.
For the first week, from Sunday the 2nd right through to Saturday the 8th, it’s a total write-off. Tiny, weak, short-period slop with onshore and cross-onshore winds, and the combined energy readings are all in the double digits or low triple digits – nothing to get excited about. The only half-decent window is Saturday morning the 8th, when you get a little 4ft SSW swell with a cross-offshore breeze and clean conditions. The energy is moderate (142), but it’s still a very ordinary wave. Honestly, it’s more of a salvage session than a standout.
Then we hit another dry spell. Sunday the 9th through to Thursday the 13th is all junk – tiny, short-period, mostly onshore muck with combined energy barely cracking 100. Friday the 14th stays tiny and weak.
The one true standout – and I mean the only one worth planning around – is Saturday the 15th. That morning, we’ve got 4ft from the SSW, period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy hits 100 (moderate). The wind is light cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy, but it’s the biggest swell of the whole outlook. The afternoon holds similar size at 4ft as well, but the wind picks up to a moderate cross-onshore, making it choppier. Still, for a spot that’s been mostly flat, this is the best on offer. It’s not for beginners – 4ft is fine for most intermediates, but the short period won’t help much.
Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th fade back to tiny, weak conditions with no real punch.
So yeah, it’s a lean stretch. If you’re desperate, Saturday morning the 15th is your best shot. Otherwise, keep the board in the car and check back later.
Rusty.
