The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you—this 16-day stretch for 10th Street (Avalon) is a tough one. The water is sitting at 78° and that's a couple of degrees warmer than you'd expect for late August, so it's a bit of a tropical bath out there, but that's about the only highlight.
We've got a long gap of nothing but poor surf conditions right from the start. The first real sniff of anything surfable doesn't come until Saturday, the 29th of August, and even then it's barely a whisper. The break is inconsistent at the best of times, and this period is testing that reputation.
On Saturday morning, the 29th, we finally see a tiny uptick. Swell is a measly 2ft from the SE with a short, weak period of 8 seconds. The combined energy (74) is low, but the wind is a light cross-off from the NNW, which will keep things clean. It's surfable, but it's very ordinary—honestly, it's a log or a foamie day for a paddle, not much more. The afternoon cleans up even more with a light offshore from the WNW, but the swell drops to 2ft.
After that, it's back to the doldrums. The next few days are all poor surf with choppy onshore winds or weak cross-shore slop. Monday, the 1st of September, has a moderate cross-shore breeze and nothing to ride. Things look a little better by Wednesday, the 2nd of September, with a clean cross-offshore wind from the W and a 2ft SE swell, but the energy is still minimal (52).
The second week is more of the same. There's a glimmer of hope on Saturday, the 5th of September, with glassy conditions in the morning and afternoon, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft from the SE with an 8-second period. It's flat, flat, flat.
To be honest, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer given the persistent onshore winds and small, weak swell. There's nothing here that gets the heart racing. If you're determined, the best you'll get is a clean, knee-high dribble on a glassy morning or with a light offshore—but don't expect much. The 29th of August is your only real window, and it's a poor one at that.
Rusty.
