The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the table for our local stretch.
Alright, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. We’re looking at a pretty grim stretch ahead for 10th Street (Avalon). The entire 16-day window is a tough read, with a long, flat gap from the start. The first tiny chance of a surfable wave doesn't show up until Friday morning, August 7th. Before that, it’s pretty much a write-off with tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. The water temp is sitting at 76°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Friday, August 7th: Morning offers a glimmer of hope. We’ve got a small 3ft swell pushing in from the south with a short 6-second period. The combined energy is weak, coming in at just (73). The wind is a light offshore from the WSW, which will keep things clean. It’s surfable, but it’s ordinary, tiny, and gutless. Don’t expect much.
Saturday, August 8th: Similar story. The morning brings a bit of energy with a 3ft SSW swell and moderate energy (101), and again that clean offshore WSW breeze. It’s small and weak, but it's the best we’ll see for a while. The afternoon turns messy as the wind swings onshore.
After that, we drop right back off into tiny, weak surf. There’s a decent spell of clean offshore wind on Wednesday, August 12th and Thursday, August 13th, but the swell is practically non-existent at 0.3ft to 0.7ft. It’s a cruel tease.
The only other moment worth a mention is right at the tail end, Tuesday, August 18th. We get a little bump from the SSW, building to 4ft by the afternoon. The wind goes clean offshore from the WNW, giving us some nice, clean lines. The energy is moderate (125). It’s still on the small side and short period, but with those offshores, it could be a fun, uncrowded session if you’re desperate for a paddle.
Honestly, the standout here is the Tuesday the 18th. It’s not pumping, but the combination of clean offshore wind and the biggest swell of the whole outlook makes it the only real window. The rest is a whole lot of nothing.
Stay patient, lads. This area can go quiet, but it never stays poor forever. Forecasts can change.
