The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s talk 10th Street (Avalon). I’ll level with you – for the majority of the next couple weeks, you’ll be sitting on your board more than you’ll be riding. It’s a long, flat spell.
The first wave that’s truly worth paddling for hits on Wednesday, August 19th. That morning sees about 4 ft of south swell, but it’s short-period at 5 seconds – a bit dumpy and lacking punch. But the morning will be glassy, which makes the paddle out easy. The afternoon is where it gets proper: the swell bumps up to 6 ft from the south, with a light WSW cross-offshore breeze at 6 mph, the water glassing right up. Wave energy is moderate at 291, so there’s some grunt behind those waves.
That Wednesday afternoon is far and away our best bet. The offshore wind will hold the faces up for a clean ride, and that’s the biggest swell in the whole forecast. It’s a beach/jetty spot, so it’ll likely be better wrapping off the structure than breaking straight. At 6 ft, that’s getting into strong territory – best left for the experienced crew; beginners might get worked.
After that, it fades fast. Thursday, August 20th morning drops to 2 ft from the southeast, barely a bump. The rest of the run out to the 23rd stays tiny – under 3 ft – and is often spoiled by cross or onshore breezes. From the 9th all the way to the 18th, there are zero good windows. Water temp is a warm 77°, a touch warmer than usual for the season, so at least the swim is pleasant.
So, here’s the call: circle Wednesday, August 19th afternoon on your calendar. That’s your shot. Everything else is a wash.
Rusty.
