The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – we’re looking at a pretty grim stretch for 10th Street (Avalon). The forecast is basically a flat spell with a side of frustration for the next 16 days. There’s no standout session, no hidden gem, just a long wait for anything that’s even worth a paddle.
We start off on Saturday, August 22nd, with a tiny 2ft swell from the east-northeast, but it’s a short-period, weak windswell (combined energy of just 60). The wind is a cross-onshore, making it choppy and pretty much a write-off. That same flat, messy pattern hangs around through Sunday, Monday, and into the middle of the week. The swell is staying under 2ft, and the energy is pathetic – mostly in the teens and thirties.
The one tiny glimmer in this whole outlook comes late in the window. On Monday, August 31st, we see a long-period swell (19 seconds) from the southeast, but it’s only 1.0ft. The combined energy bumps up to 78, which is still weak, and the wind is a light cross-offshore, making it clean. It’s surfable, but you’d be chasing little ankle-biters. The offshore wind on Tuesday, September 1st, is a plus, with the swell period staying long (15 seconds), and the energy climbing to 112 (moderate). The swell is only 2ft, so it’s not a day for heroes, but it’s the best we’ll see. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
The truth is, this spot is inconsistent, and this forecast is a perfect example of that. The whole run is a no-go for paddle surfing. With the tiny swell, poor surf quality, and the beach/jetty setup, the conditions that do pop up on the 31st and 1st are more interesting for a kite than a surfboard. Don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
