The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s on the cards for the Avalon stretch, specifically 10th Street.
First off, it’s been a tough run. The water is sitting at a balmy 77°, which is a full 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s much warmer than normal, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.
The problem is, for the next week and a half, there’s just nothing doing. From Saturday the 29th of August right through to the 10th of September, the surf is flat to tiny, with poor conditions. The swell energy is weak, sitting between 16 and 124 in the brackets, and the wind is all over the shop – mostly cross or cross-onshore, keeping things messy. It’s a real bummer, but it happens.
We finally get a little flicker of life on Saturday the 12th of September. The afternoon shows a bit of a spike with a 4ft swell from the NE, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit weak and lumpy. The combined energy jumps to 206 (moderate), and the wind turns offshore from the NW at 12 mph, which will clean it up nicely. However, the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions”. It’s only a score of 1 out of 10 for quality, so don’t expect barrels.
Sunday the 13th of September morning holds a bit of that energy, with 3ft from the ENE, a 7-second period, and clean cross-offshore winds from the N at 9 mph. Energy drops back to 89 (weak), though. It’s still rideable, but nothing to write home about.
So, the honest truth? There’s no standout session in this 16-day window. The best you’ll get is a few small, clean waves on the weekend of the 12th and 13th of September. For a beach/jetty setup like this, with such weak, short-period swell, it’s looking more interesting for a kite session than a proper paddle surf. Hang in there, the forecasts can always change, but for now, save your energy.
Rusty.
