The Lowdown

Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. I’ve stared at the charts for this stretch and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s looking like a very quiet run for the foreseeable future. We’ve got a solid 16-day window, but the surf is going to be a struggle for most of it. There’s a long gap of nothing really worth paddling out for, especially from now through the end of the month. The only real pulse of energy shows up right at the very end of the outlook, and even that comes with some caveats.

Right now, and for the next week, 10th Street (Avalon) is dealing with tiny, weak leftovers. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the swim will be nice. Wednesday the 15th has a little 1ft SE swell, but with a cross-off wind and a combined energy of only 20, it’s just not doing anything. That same poor pattern holds through the following days. Friday the 17th morning goes glassy, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3ft – it’s a lake. We get a bit of a bump on Saturday the 18th afternoon with a 5ft S swell and energy jumping to 111, but it’s coming straight onshore with moderate rain. That slop is only for the desperate.

Don’t even bother looking at the 19th through the 27th. It’s all tiny, inconsistent, and mostly blown out or flat. The combined energy values are in the single digits or low double digits, and the swell heights rarely top 1.0ft. It’s a blank run.

Now, if you’re patient, there’s a glimmer. On Tuesday the 28th afternoon, the swell picks up a bit. We’re looking at 4ft from the SE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 163. That’s moderate energy, so there will be some waves. The wind is light and onshore, so it won’t be perfect, but it’s the most size we’ve seen. This is 11 days out, so keep an eye on it, but it’s the best bet in the whole window. The next morning, Wednesday the 29th, has a similar 2ft ESE swell but with a light cross-shore, which might clean it up a bit. The 30th still has some energy (94), but it gets choppy again.

The truth is, this is a lean period for 10th Street. It’s an inconsistent spot, and this forecast proves it. For a solid week and a half, you’re better off doing something else. The only wave of note is that late-month pulse, but it’s not a standout for anyone but the most dedicated local.

Rusty.
