The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get real. Honestly, looking at the 16-day window, there’s basically nothing to get excited about. I’m talking a real flat spell. The only spot the finder even threw up is 10th Street (Avalon) , and it’s rated as inconsistent, so this kind of dry run isn’t surprising for this area. You’re looking at a long gap with no real recommendations.

The first possible session is Thursday the 3rd in the morning. The water is sitting at 78°F – that’s over 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year, which is very unusual. You’ll find a tiny 2ft southeast swell, but with a cross-off wind and a storm risk, it’s just messy. The combined energy is weak (80), so it’s really not worth paddling out for.

Friday the 4th looks cleaner with a 1ft southeast swell and offshore wind in the morning, but it’s just too small to do anything with. The energy is a paltry 19.

Saturday the 5th is even smaller, with 1ft waves. You’d be floating more than surfing. The combined energy drops to 14.

Sunday the 6th sees a bump in size to 3ft in the morning, but the period is a terrible 4 seconds and the wind is cross-shore. It’s choppy and weak. The afternoon pushes to 4ft, but with a cross-onshore wind and a combined energy of 124, it’s just a messy, choppy wall. Not for a paddle board.

The week that follows is a total write-off. Monday the 7th has a 2ft swell with a 7-second period, but the wind is cross-off and the energy is 114 – still not enough to make it fun. From there, it’s a whole lot of small, short-period junk with poor wind. The 1ft to 2ft range sticks around for days.

By the second week, from around the 13th of September, the swell tries to pick up a bit, hitting 4ft again, but it’s always accompanied by rough cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions. The energy numbers get up to 126, but with those winds, this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The 16th and 17th of September show similar 4ft swells, but the period is short and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore. It’s just not gonna clean up.

So, bottom line: there’s no standout session here. Not one. The best you can hope for is a very small, clean window on Friday morning the 4th, but it’s barely surfable. This is a classic flat spell for this spot. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
