The Lowdown
Alright, let’s take a look at what’s on offer for 10th Street (Avalon).
This stretch is mainly a beach and jetty setup, so it’s not the most consistent spot around. Over the next week and a half, the surf is going to be pretty lackluster for the most part, with only a couple of windows where things get interesting.
Right off the bat, from Sunday the 9th through to Saturday the 15th, it’s nearly flat. We’re talking swell heights mostly around 0.3ft to 1.3ft, with short periods under 10 seconds and very weak combined energy (often single or low double digits). The wind is often offshore or cross-offshore, so the surface will be clean, but there’s just no wave to ride. The water is sitting at about 77.5°F, a touch warmer than normal, so it’s comfortable for a swim, not a surf.
The only real standout arrives around Monday the 17th. There’s a pulse of south swell pushing in, with the morning seeing 4.6ft swell from the south and combined energy jumping to 133. Period is still fairly short at 6 seconds though, and winds are light cross-onshore, so conditions won’t be perfect. It’s surfable but a bit bumpy. The following Tuesday morning the 18th brings a longer period of 16 seconds from the southeast, but only 0.3ft of swell, so not much push.
Then Wednesday the 19th sees another build: east-northeast swell at 3ft, period 8 seconds, with combined energy hitting 127 to 180. Winds are moderate cross-shore, so it’s going to be a bit chopped up. Still, this is the biggest and most energetic window in the whole outlook.
Thursday the 20th continues with 2ft from the southeast, period 11 seconds, energy around 110 to 125. Winds turn onshore in the afternoon, so the morning will be the cleaner call. After that, the end of the run (22nd to 24th) drops back off, with a brief moment on Saturday the 22nd morning where 3ft from the northeast with light cross-offshore winds gives a chance at some clean, small waves—energy is moderate at 79.
Overall, if you’re keen, the best bet is Wednesday the 19th through Thursday the 20th for the most size and energy, though expect cross-shore chop. For cleaner but smaller surf, Saturday the 22nd morning is your window. Otherwise, it’s mostly a flat spell.
