The Lowdown
Alright, let me run through the same forecast but in feet and miles.
For 10th Street (Avalon), it’s a grim outlook for the most part. This spot is inconsistent anyway, so a long flat spell is pretty normal here. The water is sitting at 77°, which is a lot warmer than usual for this time of year – feels a bit strange.
The first real chance of a wave doesn’t show up until Thursday, September 12th. From Wednesday, September 2nd, right through to Wednesday, September 11th, it’s all poor conditions. Swell heights are mostly 1 to 3 ft, with messy onshore or cross-shore wind. Hardly worth getting wet for.
Thursday, September 12th, is the one bright spot. The morning brings a clean 8 ft swell from the ENE, with a very light offshore wind from the WNW. The combined energy is strong at 867, so there’s plenty of punch, even if the period is a short 8 seconds. That’s a proper wave, and it’s clean – the standout moment. But 8 ft is big and only for experienced surfers. In the afternoon it pushes to 10 ft from the ENE, with 1067 energy and a light cross-off wind keeping it clean. That’s a heavy, powerful wave for experts only. The swell direction is a good match for the optimum NE direction.
After that, Friday, September 13th, drops back to a messy 2 to 3 ft with cross-on wind, and then it’s back to tiny weak slop for the rest of the run. The 14th and 15th of September are all 1 ft SE swell with onshore wind, and the 16th and 17th have some weird long-period energy with no height or wind. All talk, no action.
So there you go – the only real window is Thursday, September 12th. If you want clean, solid waves, that’s the day. The rest of the 16 days is a whole lot of nothing.
