Updates in  hr  min  s Forecast update imminent

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's be real about what’s on the table for this stretch.

Straight up, this is a tough forecast. We’ve got a 16-day window ahead, but honestly, there’s a long, dry gap here. The first few days are a write-off. Saturday the 4th through to Tuesday the 7th is pretty much nothing but messy, choppy, blown-out conditions with tiny swell. You’d be fighting an onshore breeze for absolutely no reward.

We do finally see a small window of opportunity on Wednesday the 8th. That morning at 10th Street (Avalon) , we get a bit of a break. There’s a light cross-offshore breeze from the North at 6 mph, which will clean things up. The swell is small, about 3 ft from the ENE, and it’s short period windswell, so it won’t have much push. It’s surfable but very ordinary. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s the one bright spot in the first week, but don’t get your hopes up for anything special.

The water temp is sitting around 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be cold while you’re waiting.

After that, it’s back to the slog. Thursday the 9th gets lumpy with a fresh cross-onshore, and the rest of that week and into the next is just a mix of tiny surf and trashy winds. The second week looks completely lifeless. We’ve got flat spell from around the 16th onwards, with swell barely cracking 1 ft and energy levels dropping off. There’s nothing in that second week worth chasing.

Bottom line: if you’ve got a kite, the stronger winds on Thursday the 9th and Tuesday the 14th might look more interesting than a surfboard. For paddle surfing, this forecast is a bummer. There's no standout, just one so-so morning on the 8th.

Rusty.
