The Lowdown
Alright, let’s take a look at the charts for the next couple of weeks. It’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead, I gotta be honest. There’s no real swell on the horizon for the first week or so. From today and running right through to the 13th of September, the surf at 10th Street (Avalon) is flat to tiny. You’re looking at ankle-to-knee-high dribble, mostly from the east or southeast, with a period that’s often short, under 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is barely registering, usually under 100 (often just 18 to 70), so it’s weak. Conditions are messy too—most mornings have a cross or cross-onshore breeze, and the afternoons are often choppy. There’s a few clean windows here and there, like Tuesday morning the 8th with a light offshore, but the swell is just 1 ft. Not worth paddling out for.
Around the 14th and 15th, we see a tiny bump in swell height up to 2 ft or 2 ft, still from the southeast, but the period is still short, around 7 seconds. The energy stays weak (under 100). Winds are light but cross-shore or cross-onshore, so it’s not going to be clean. Nothing to get excited about.
Then we start seeing a bit of a change around the 17th of September. The combined energy kicks up into the triple digits (123 to 135), but the swell is still small—3 ft to 3 ft from the east-southeast. The real problem is the wind: on the 17th, it’s a moderate cross-onshore, making it choppy. The surf is still rated poor.
The only real glimmer in this whole 16-day window comes on the morning of Friday the 18th of September. We’ve got a gentle offshore wind from the west-northwest, and the swell is 3 ft from the east-southeast with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is 81. It’s not pumping, but it’s clean. For a spot that’s been starved of any decent conditions, this is the best we’ve got. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. 10th Street is an inconsistent spot, and it’s living up to that reputation right now. Expect some crew around if it’s marginally good, because it’s been a dry spell.
