The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it's a pretty quiet stretch ahead. For the first week and a half, we're looking at small, weak swells and a lot of "poor surf conditions" messages. The wave energy is low, sitting mostly in the 20s and 30s, which is pretty weak. You're not going to find much to ride. There's a notable gap from now until around the 29th of August where nothing really gets a recommendation.
The water temperature at 10th Street (Avalon) is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Nothing crazy, but a little extra warmth in the water.
The first real standout, and honestly the best option across the whole outlook, shapes up on the 29th of August. Saturday morning looks like the pick of the period. We've got a clean offshore wind from the WNW at 9 mph, making for some clean conditions. The swell is small, only 2 ft from the SE, but it's surfable and the wind is off. By Saturday afternoon, the energy picks up a bit, and the wind crosses off, but it's still clean. This is about as good as it gets.
After that, the 30th of August Sunday morning starts glassy with an ESE breeze at 3 mph, and the swell is 2 ft from the SE. It's small, but glassy. It's worth a paddle if you're desperate.
Looking further into the first week of September, there's a slight bump in the energy numbers, but the conditions are still a mixed bag with onshore winds and chop. The 1st of September afternoon has a clean cross-off wind and a 1 ft swell from the ESE with a 12-second period, which is a nice long period for such a small wave. The energy is moderate. It's surfable, but nothing special.
Honestly, for the next two weeks, the best advice is to keep your expectations low. The 29th of August morning is the one to circle. It's a long way off, but it's the cleanest window we've got.
Rusty.
