Table - best surf conditions forecast for 10th Street (Avalon) over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be real. The next couple of weeks at 10th Street are a total write-off. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing from now through the 23rd – flat, lumpy, and mostly cross-onshore slop. You’d be better off doing anything else.
There’s a tiny window of hope around the 24th – a glassy morning with a bit of small east swell, but it’s weak and unimpressive. The energy is still low (122). It’s just enough to get wet, but nothing to write home about.
Then the 25th and 26th – this is the only real chance we get. The wind goes offshore on the 25th, and by Saturday the 26th, we have chest-high waves with clean conditions and a moderate offshore breeze. The swell energy is picking up (201), but the period is short, so the waves are weak and fat. It’s the best of a bad bunch, but it’s still very ordinary.
After that, it just fades again. The 27th brings a bit more size but onshore winds ruin it. The rest of the week is small, weak, and choppy.
The water is stupid warm – 25°, which is more than 3° above normal. That’s pretty crazy for this time of year.
Look, if you’re desperate, Saturday the 26th is your only shot. Otherwise, this is a kite-surfing kind of forecast, not a surfing one. There’s no real swell for 10th Street, and what does show up isn't breaking well. It’s a blank run, plain and simple.
Rusty.
