The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
Honestly, mate, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a decent paddle. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about, starting right now and running through most of the period. The first real chance of something rideable doesn’t show up until Friday morning, August 7th, and even then it’s nothing to write home about.
The overall pattern is small, weak, and messy. The swell is coming from the southeast for the most part, with short, weak periods around 6 to 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is barely registering, mostly under 100, so it’s all pretty gutless. Winds are a problem too – mostly cross or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and uninviting.
The only spot we’ve got to look at is 10th Street (Avalon). It’s a beach and jetty setup, and it’s inconsistent, which fits the outlook. It’s fairly exposed to the swell, and it likes swell from the northeast, but we’re getting southeast energy, so it’s not a great match.
Friday morning, August 7th, is your best bet. Swell is a tiny 4 ft from the south, with a period of 6 seconds and combined energy of 89. Not great, but the wind is a light cross-offshore from the WSW at 9 mph, so it’ll be clean. It’s surfable, but the conditions are very ordinary. The water temp is 76°, which is about normal for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
After that, it drops right off. From Saturday, August 8th all the way through to Sunday, August 16th, the swell fades to almost nothing – we’re talking 0.3 ft to 1 ft with hardly any energy. There’s a brief flicker on Monday, August 17th with a 1 ft SE swell, but with cross-onshore winds and energy at just 12, it’s still a no-go.
If you’re a kitesurfer, you might find some fun in the stronger cross-shore winds on Thursday, August 6th (16 mph from the SSW with 4 ft of short-period chop), but for a paddle surfer, it’s pretty grim.
Stick to the beach walks for now, mate. It’s not gonna stay poor forever, but this run is a long one.
Rusty.
