The Lowdown
Alright, let me be straight with you. The outlook for the next 16 days at 10th Street (Avalon) is, well, pretty bleak for paddle surfing. There are no standout days here, so I’m going to walk you through what little is on offer.
To start, keep in mind that 10th Street is a beach and jetty setup that’s inconsistent at the best of times. Right now, we’re looking at a long stretch of very small, weak swell with almost no quality.
The first session worth mentioning is Monday morning, September 7th. We’ve got a tiny 1 ft easterly swell, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is only 67 (weak). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the NNE at 3 mph, so it’s clean and glassy. The water temp is 78°F with a huge anomaly of 6°F – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year. This is the cleanest it will be, but it’s tiny and the spot is inconsistent. Surfable, but very ordinary.
After that, things go downhill fast. From Tuesday, September 8th through to Saturday, September 19th, there is a solid 11-day stretch where all the surf is rated poor. The swell stays tiny, often 1 ft to 1 ft, with short periods and weak energy. Winds are mostly cross or onshore, creating bumpy, choppy conditions. Not worth paddling out.
There is a slight shift on Saturday, September 19th, with the swell bumping up to 4 ft-4 ft from the SSE to S, but the period is short (5-6 seconds) and the wind is a moderate cross-shore breeze at 16 mph. The combined energy hits 113 (moderate). Still, it’s lumpy and poor quality. For a beach break like this, that setup actually looks more interesting for a kite surfer than for a paddle surfer.
The last few days (Sunday, September 20th through Tuesday, September 22nd) are a mix of very small swell and onshore winds, continuing the poor conditions. The only clean windows are the offshore winds on Wednesday, September 16th, but with the swell at just 1 ft and weak energy, you’ll be floating more than surfing.
In summary, there are zero true standouts in this 16-day window. 10th Street (Avalon) is not breaking consistently and when it does, it’s too small and poorly shaped. For this area, a blank run like this is normal. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board at home.
