The Lowdown
Alright, I'm looking at a real tough run of swell for 10th Street (Avalon). Over the next 16 days, we're in for a long stretch with barely anything to get excited about. It's a break that needs a proper push, and we just aren't getting one. The water is 77°F, which is very warm for this time, running about 5°F above average.
The first window where you might get wet is Thursday, September 3rd. It's a tiny 3ft swell from the ESE, with a 9-second interval. Wave energy is 133, so it's weak. The wind is light and cross-off from the WSW though, so it will be clean. It's surfable, but just barely.
After that, Friday the 4th drops to 1ft, and Saturday the 5th is hopeless with a 2ft windswell from the NE at 5 seconds. The energy is an awful 26.
The morning of Monday the 7th is your next look, with 2ft from the ENE at 9 seconds, clean with light cross-off wind. Energy is 90. It's small, but you could find a fun one.
Wednesday the 9th of September brings the biggest waves of the stretch – 4ft from the SSW, but it's a 5-second period windswell, so it's lumpy. Combined energy hits 120. The morning will be clean with cross-off wind from the WSW. That's the biggest, but not the best.
Then it's back downhill. Saturday the 12th has 3ft from the ENE at 6 seconds, but with glassy conditions in the morning. Energy is a low 71. It's a "maybe" session at best.
After the 12th, it flatlines completely, with heights falling to 0.7ft. There are no true good days here. For a paddle surfer, this is a long, blank run. Honestly, with the weak, short-period energy and wind patterns, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than a traditional paddle session if you're desperate.
Rusty.
