The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet for ya. 10th Street (Avalon) is staring down a pretty lean spell – this beach/jetty spot doesn’t break often anyway, and the next couple of weeks ain’t gonna change that.
From Saturday the 22nd of August, we’re looking at a measly 2ft swell from the ENE, only 6 seconds between waves. Energy is pathetic (52), and that cross-onshore breeze is stirring it up – don’t bother. Sunday and Monday clean up with offshore winds, but the swell stays tiny – under 3ft – and the periods are all over the shop. Wednesday morning the 26th turns glassy, but it’s still only 1ft of weak SE swell. There’s just no power.
The one bright spot is over a week away, on Wednesday the 2nd of September morning. We get a clean, light offshore from the WSW, and a 2ft SE swell with a long 12-second period. Energy shoots up to 365 – that’s proper moderate power. That long period means groundswell, but at a beach break it might straighten out a little. Still, with clean faces, it’s the only session worth aiming for. Everything else is small, short-period mush, often with onshore chop. Water temp is running much warmer than usual, about 78°, which is over 4° above average – feels tropical.
For most of this 16-day run, you’re not missing much. If the wind gets up with a bit of bump, kites might have more fun than paddle surfers. Keep your eye on that first week of September – it’s your best bet.
