The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you – the surf outlook for the next sixteen days at 10th Street (Avalon) is looking pretty grim. We're in a real dry spell, so don't be expecting any good waves for a long while.
The water is sitting at 79°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, about 4° above average. That's a real standout.
The first decent sign of any swell doesn't show up until a whole week from now, on the 19th of August (Wednesday morning), when we get a tiny pulse of 2 ft swell from the SE with a period of 11 seconds. The combined swell energy is a weak 120, and with light cross-shore winds, it'll be clean but tiny. It's just not worth paddling out for.
On the 25th of August (Tuesday morning), we finally see a jump in size with a 7 ft swell from the east, but it's coming straight onshore with a period of just 8 seconds. The energy is moderate at 544, but it's messy and blown out. This is gonna be too much for beginners, and honestly, the wind is onshore and choppy, making it a sloppy mess. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The rest of the window is a total write-off. We have flat days, tiny windswell, or onshore slop. The 10th Street (Avalon) beach/jetty is inconsistent and rarely breaks, and this forecast proves it. There are no standouts, no good options. It's a long, blank run. But hey, it's a beach break, forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay poor forever.
Rusty.
