The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one. We're looking at a real dry spell for the next 16 days. The only spot with any kind of pulse is 10th Street (Avalon), and it's barely a heartbeat.
We start off with a long, quiet stretch. From Saturday the 29th of August right through to Wednesday the 3rd of September, the surf is just too small and messy to bother with. You'll see a tiny bump of 2ft on the 29th, but it's coming from the SE with a weak 8-second period, and the wind is all over the place. It's not worth paddling out for.
The first real glimpse of anything happens on Wednesday the 2nd of September. The swell picks up a touch to 2ft, and for a moment, the combined energy climbs to 138 – that's a fleeting sign of life. But it's coming from the SE with a moderate cross-onshore wind, so it's going to be choppy and messy. Not something to get excited about.
Thursday the 3rd of September might be your best bet, and I'm using that term loosely. The swell drops back to 3ft, but the wind swings offshore from the WNW in the afternoon, cleaning things up. The waves will be surfable, but very ordinary. It's a one-out-of-ten kind of day. The combined energy is weak at 98.
After that, we're back to the doldrums. From the 4th of September onward, the swell drops to 1ft and below, with only a few moments of clean conditions. The 9th of September sees a pulse of 3ft from the SE again, with a decent 12-second period, but the cross-onshore wind ruins it. The combined energy hits 188, but it's all for nothing.
Late in the forecast, around the 13th of September, we get a tiny 1ft swell from the SE, but it's barely a ripple. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on.
Honestly, this is a tough stretch. 10th Street is an inconsistent spot anyway, and it's not showing us anything. For a true stand-out, there's nothing here. It's a blank run, and for this area, that's not unusual. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now.
Rusty.
