The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’.
Honestly, the outlook for the next couple of weeks is pretty grim. The finder is giving us a big fat zero on recommendations for the vast majority of this period. The first real sign of something decent doesn’t show up until around the 20th of August. That’s a long stretch of waiting.
We’re looking at 10th Street (Avalon) for the whole forecast. The water is running a touch warmer than normal at 78°, which is a nice little bonus for the wait.
The first week and a half is a total washout. Most days are showing tiny, weak swell with poor surf conditions. The wind is often cross-off or cross-shore, but the swell energy is just pathetic, mostly in the single digits, like 10 (combined energy). It’s a real bummer. There’s a brief moment on the afternoon of the 13th with a fresh offshore from the NW at 19 mph and a 0.7 ft SSW swell, but it’s only 4 seconds of period, so it’s just wind chop. Not worth paddling out for.
The only glimmer of hope, and I mean the only one, is the morning of Thursday, 20th August. The guidance points to a decent SE swell rolling in at 4 ft, with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, packed with energy. The combined energy hits a strong 501, which is a big jump from the nothingburger we’ve been seeing. The wind is set to be a light cross-off from the WSW at 9 mph, which should keep the lineup clean. That’s your standout, for sure. For a more experienced surfer, the afternoon that same day sees the swell bump up to 5 ft, but the period drops off to a weak 5 seconds, so it’s going to be a wall of messy, weak whitewater. Not great. The morning is the better bet.
After that brief pulse, the energy drops straight back into the cellar for the rest of the outlook. The long 15-second period swell on the 18th is there, but it’s tiny at 1.0 ft, so it’s not going to do anything at a beach break like this.
So, to put it plainly: the 20th of August morning is the absolute best on offer, and it’s the only thing that’s even worth a look. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off. If you’re desperate, you might get a couple of fun ones that morning, but don’t hold your breath for the rest of the window.
Rusty.
