The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Look, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days at 10th Street (Avalon) are a real flat spell. There's simply no good surf on offer. The first record we see is for Tuesday morning, August 11th, and it's already a write-off with a tiny 0.3ft swell from the SE. The water temperature is sitting at 78°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, about 4° above the norm – feels like a bath.
The whole forecast is a string of "poor surf conditions" with combined wave energy readings that barely get going. We see a few scraps, like Thursday morning, August 13th, with a 2ft SW swell and a weak energy of just 31, but it's got a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-off wind. Not worth paddling out for. Friday morning, August 14th, is glassy with a 0.7ft ESE swell, but again, too small to do anything.
The only blip of interest comes right at the end. On Sunday, August 23rd, we get a 1ft SE swell with a period of 12 seconds and a gentle offshore wind from the NNW. The energy is 47, still weak, but that offshore wind and longer period could make for a few clean, lonely little waves. It's the best of a bad bunch, but it's still tiny. Monday, August 24th, carries a similar vibe with a 1ft SE swell, 12-second period, and a cross-off breeze. For a break that's only "fairly exposed" to NE swell and with inconsistent breaking, this is a long dry spell. If you're a kiter, the choppy, onshore days might be more interesting, but for a paddle surfer, this is a blank run that's normal for the area.
