10th Street (Avalon) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s have a look at the next 16 days for 10th Street (Avalon). Gotta be honest, it’s a rough stretch. We’re staring at a long gap of tiny, weak surf before anything even remotely rideable shows up. The first sign of life isn’t until Wednesday, September 2nd, so there’s a few days of nothing to start.

The water is at 77°F, which is a good bit warmer than usual for this time of year (anomaly of 4°F), so you’ll be comfortable in a shorty or just boardshorts.

The first real chance is Wednesday, September 2nd. The swell is a meager 2ft from the SE with a period of 11 seconds – that’s a long period groundswell, which is good for shape, but at a beach/jetty like this, it can sometimes break a bit too straight. The combined swell energy is 123 (moderate). The morning has a light cross-offshore breeze, so it’s clean. Surfable, but very ordinary.

Thursday, September 3rd bumps up a touch to 3ft from the ESE, but the period drops to 6–7 seconds, so it’s weak and short. The wind is clean and cross-off again, so it’s rideable, but nothing special. Combined energy is 126 in the morning – still moderate.

After that, it’s back to small, chunky junk through the rest of the second week. There’s a brief moment on Wednesday, September 9th morning with a 3ft SE swell and an 11-second period, plus a moderate offshore breeze from the WNW. The combined energy hits 184 (moderate), but it’s still just too small to be a real standout. The afternoon completely fades away.

The best of the bunch – and it’s not saying much – is the Wednesday, September 9th morning. The swell is 3ft from the SE, the wind is offshore, and the period is a decent 11 seconds. It’s the closest we get to a proper session, but don’t expect much power.

The finder shows no real recommendations. For this area, when the swell is this inconsistent and small, a blank run like this is pretty normal. Keen an eye on the forecasts, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
