The Lowdown
Alright, this is a bit of a tough one for us here at 10th Street (Avalon). Looking at the whole 16-day window, there are only a couple of brief windows where the surf is even "surfable", and even then it's nothing to write home about. We've got a big gap of nothing really happening, then a potential little pulse right at the end.
The first real sniff of anything rideable doesn't come until Thursday morning, September 3rd. The swell is a tiny 2ft from the SE with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (92). The wind is a cross-off from the WSW, so it'll be clean, but the waves are just ordinary. That afternoon the window closes back up.
Then we have a massive blank stretch from Friday the 4th all the way through to the 12th of September. It's just wave after wave of poor surf with nothing to offer. The wind is all over the place, the swell is tiny, and the energy is low. It's one of those frustrating periods where the forecast is telling you to find something else to do.
Finally, on Sunday, September 13th, we get a bit of a pulse. Both morning and afternoon, the swell bumps up to 5ft from the S with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy pushes into the moderate range (191). Now, the morning is clean with a cross-off NNE breeze. The standout here is the afternoon, when the wind drops to almost nothing from the ESE, going glassy. That's a rare treat, especially for a beach/jetty setup. At 5ft, it's a solid size but not a big one, and that short period will mean some crumbly, softer waves. For a beach break, that short period will keep things from closing out too badly, so it's the best we've got.
The water temperature is sitting at 77°F, which is a whopping 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year. It's much warmer than usual, so you can leave the steamer at home.
All in all, the only real window to get wet is the afternoon of Sunday, September 13th. It's not a classic, but it's a window. Keep an eye on it.
