The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and grim for 10th Street (Avalon). There’s a real drought of surfable waves on the horizon, so don’t get your hopes up too high early on.
Right off the bat, through the first several days, it’s tiny and messy. We’re talking ankle-biters with poor conditions. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, and while the swell does show a pulse on Saturday the 8th—around 3ft from the south—the period is short and the setup is just ordinary. Saturday afternoon is about the only time you’ll see a clean wave, but it's still weak energy (108). It’s a surfable but very average moment, not something to rearrange your day for.
After that, it just dies. From the 9th through the 14th, the surf is practically non-existent, with heights dropping to less than half a foot and energy readings in the single digits. There are some glassy mornings—the 14th is dead flat with a glassy surface—but you’d be paddling for nothing. This is a long, flat stretch, nearly a week of nothing worth mentioning.
Then, heading into the weekend of the 15th and 16th, we see a bit of a push from the east, but it’s not good news. The swell picks up to 3.5ft – 4.5ft, but the period is short and the wind is onshore or cross. The energy builds from 68 to 131, but it’s all wind chop and poor quality. This isn’t surf for a board; it’s more of a kite-surfing setup, to be honest.
The following Monday and Tuesday, the 17th and 18th, the swell gets a bit bigger, up to 5ft, but it’s still short-period, easterly windswell with onshore winds. The energy climbs to 210, but the conditions are just poor. Too much chop, no shape. It’s a bumpy mess.
The only faint glimmer comes on the 19th, with a glassy morning and 2.5ft of east swell. But the period is still short, and the afternoon turns onshore. It’s a brief window of clean, small waves, but nothing that’s going to get the heart racing.
Honestly, the whole 16-day window is a bust for 10th Street. The break is inconsistent anyway, and the forecast aligns with that. It’s one of those times where you’d be better off checking the cams and hoping for a change. It can’t stay this bad for long.
