The Lowdown
Right, let’s cast an eye over the 16-day window for 10th Street (Avalon). I’ll be straight with ya – for the first week and a half, it’s a total write-off. We’ve got a long, painful gap of nothing but poor surf conditions from September 12th right through to the morning of September 25th. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and the energy readings are pathetic – you’re looking at combined energy numbers barely scraping into double digits for days, like 27 (weak) and 56 (weak). It’s just not worth paddling out.
Then, September 25th rolls around, and things finally wake up. Friday morning sees a proper pulse of 6ft swell from the east, with a period of 7 seconds. That’s decent energy, with the combined reading hitting 358 (moderate). The wind goes offshore from the NNW at 12 mph, so the surf will be clean, with some shape to it. This is the first real chance to get a wave. Friday afternoon holds the same 6ft east swell, wind drops a bit lighter from the NW at 6 mph, still offshore, and the energy kicks up to 381 (moderate). For a break that’s inconsistent and rarely offers much, this is a genuine standout.
But the highlight of the entire run is Saturday, September 26th, morning. Glassy conditions – wind from the SSW at just 3 mph – and a solid 6ft east swell with an 8-second period. The combined energy jumps to 453 (moderate). It’s going to be clean, lined up, and worth the wait. This is the one to target. The afternoon on the same day turns cross-onshore and choppy, so don’t sleep in.
Sunday, September 27th, morning still has some size – 4ft east swell with an 8-second period and a cross-offshore breeze from the WSW at 9 mph, keeping it clean. Energy is 289 (moderate), not a standout, but still a solid session after that long dry spell.
Overall, it’s been a brutal stretch of flat and windy nonsense, but that final three-day window from the 25th to the 27th is where you want to be. Saturday morning is the pick – glassy, chest-to-head-high east swell, and a break that doesn’t fire often. Get out there.
