The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for 10th Street (Avalon) over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty bleak picture for paddle surfing around here.
Right now, the water is sitting at a very unusual 78°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a nice touch for a swim, but it won’t help the waves.
We kick things off on Monday morning with the only real highlight in the whole run. It’s a tiny 1ft easterly swell with a clean, glassy surface thanks to a light cross-offshore breeze. The wave energy is weak, but the conditions are actually clean. The swell is coming from the east, and while the optimum direction for this spot is NE, it’s close enough to get a few fun, small waves. This is the best you’ll see across the entire 16-day window. After that, it’s a long, dry spell.
From Monday afternoon right through until Sunday, September 22nd, it’s pretty much all poor surf conditions. The swells are tiny – mostly below 2ft – and when we do get a pulse, it’s usually messy. A small amount of energy shows up on Thursday morning, September 10th, with a 5ft swell from the SSW and moderate wave energy, but it gets blown out by a fresh cross-onshore wind. That’s too big for beginners, but the quality is terrible anyway. The surf never really gets its act together. There are consistent runs of clean conditions with offshore winds, but the swell is simply too small and weak to be worthwhile. It’s an inconsistent setup, and this blank run is a pretty normal outcome for this break.
Stick a pin in Monday morning, September 7th. That’s your one chance for a crack. Don’t hold your breath for the rest of the period.
Rusty.
