The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same stretch, but in feet and Fahrenheit.
The 16-day window is looking pretty quiet for 10th Street (Avalon). There’s a long stretch of tiny, weak surf to start, so you’ll be waiting a while before anything decent shows up.
The first days are basically flat. Swell is barely a foot, from the southeast, with a period that’s either too short or too long. The combined energy is weak, staying in the 25 to 45 range (low energy). The wind is often cross-off or glassy, so the water is clean, but there’s just no wave to ride. Water temp is 77°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
We’ve got a big gap. It’s not until the 31st of August that we see a jump in energy, hitting 145 (moderate), but that’s a long-period swell (17-18 seconds) with only a 1-foot wave. That long period makes it inconsistent and hard to break at a beach/jetty spot. The wind is also cross-onshore and choppy, so it’s not worth getting wet.
The real highlight is the 5th of September. Saturday morning and afternoon deliver a 3 to 4 foot southeast swell, with a 12-second period, and a combined energy of 324 (strong wave energy). That’s the one. The wind is offshore from the NNW and WNW, and it’s clean. That’s your window for a proper session. The swell is just over 3 feet, so it’s fine for most surfers, but nothing too big. Crowds are possible, so plan accordingly.
Outside of that, the 4th of September Friday afternoon has a tiny 2-foot wave with moderate offshore wind, but it’s only a fair day. The rest of the 16 days are mostly junk. The 2nd of September has a bit more energy (226 – moderate), but the wind is onshore, so it’s messy.
In short: a long, flat start, a few days of poor conditions, and one clear stand-out on the 5th of September. Keep your eyes on that Saturday.
Rusty.
