The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – for the next couple of weeks around Avalon, it’s going to be a tough run. We’ve got a solid 16-day window in front of us, but honestly, the surf is looking pretty average for most of it.
Right now, we are looking at a long gap of poor conditions. From Sunday the 13th right through to the 24th of September, there’s really nothing worth paddling out for. Most days we’re seeing tiny swell, and when there is a bit of size, the wind is all wrong – cross-shore or onshore. The energy is weak, often under 100 (34 to 93), so you’re really fighting for scraps. Even when the wind is clean, the swell is just too small and weak.
That said, things start to look a little more promising towards the end of the run. On Thursday the 24th of September, there’s a window in the morning that has some potential. We’re looking at a solid 6ft of east swell coming in at 11 seconds, which is a proper groundswell. The combined energy is strong at 661, so there’s some power behind it. The wind is blowing from the NNE at 12 mph, which is cross-offshore and will keep things clean. This is the standout of the whole outlook – a decent sized, longer period swell with clean conditions. It’s the best on offer, but still only considered marginal.
For the rest of the period, it’s a write-off. The following days drop off again with messy winds and smaller swell. The 26th and 27th are particularly ugly with strong winds and chop.
So, to be honest, the next couple of weeks are a bit of a dud. The only real glimmer is that Thursday morning the 24th at 10th Street (Avalon). If you can get on it early, it might just be worth a look. Otherwise, save your energy.
Stay patient, Rusty.
