The Lowdown
Alright, let’s take a look at what’s coming our way over the next couple weeks.
Honestly, the first week is pretty flat and messy. There are some tiny bumps showing around Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th, but nothing to get excited about until then. The best chance for a proper surf is Saturday the 12th of September. We get a pulse of swell hitting 7 ft from the ENE, and the wind swings offshore from the NW in the afternoon, cleaning everything up at 10th Street (Avalon). The combined energy is 360, so there’s some proper push behind it. The water is much warmer than normal for the season at 78°, so you’ll be fine in shorts.
Keep in mind, 7 ft is getting a bit big for beginners, and the period is only 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit bumpy with quick sets. Being a beach and jetty spot, there will be closeouts, but with that clean breeze, you’ll find a few good ones. Crowds are possible there, so you might have some company.
After that, the surf drops off fast. Sunday the 13th turns messy with onshore wind, and the following week is mostly small, choppy junk under 3 ft. There’s a chance on Thursday the 17th with a clean morning, but at 2 ft from the E, it’s a longboard or foil session at best. You get a very long period swell on Saturday the 19th at 12 seconds, but it’s a mere 0.7 ft, so that’s a no-go.
Your best bet is that Saturday afternoon. It’s the only real window, and then it goes quiet again for days.
