The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. The next couple of weeks are a real test of patience for anyone in this area. We're looking at a massive dry spell with no real surf for days and days. The first time anything even blips on the radar is right at the very end of the forecast period, so you're looking at a long blank stretch until then.
The only break in the game is 10th Street (Avalon). From Wednesday the 19th of August right through to Tuesday the 2nd of September, it's just flat, messy, and not worth your time. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1 ft or less, and the wind is all over the place – swinging from cross-off to onshore and even hitting a fresh 22 mph cross-shore on Thursday the 27th of August, which makes it lumpy and ugly. The combined energy numbers are pathetic, with values like 2, 19, and 55 – that's weak energy for you.
The only sliver of hope is on the morning of Wednesday, September 2nd. The wind cleans right up to a light cross-off from the west-southwest at 6 mph. The swell finally shows a little life at 3 ft from the south, but the period is a short 6 seconds – that's just windswell, no power behind it. The energy finally climbs to 131 (moderate energy), but the notes say "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It's not going to be a classic. The water temp is pretty normal for this time of year.
By the afternoon of that same day, the wind swings onshore and it gets choppy again. And Thursday the 3rd is more of the same – onshore and messy.
So here's the bottom line: there's no real standout session. If you're desperate, the morning of Wednesday, September 2nd is your only shot at 10th Street. Don't expect much. This area is no stranger to these long flat stretches, so it's not unusual. Keep an eye on the forecast, because things can change, but for now, it's a waiting game.
