The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you how it’s shaping up in feet and miles per hour. Rusty here, and I gotta be honest – 10th Street (Avalon) isn’t giving us much to work with over the next two weeks. Most of the days are flat as a pancake, and when a bump shows up, the wind spoils it.
The first sign of life is on Sunday, August 27th. The morning brings a 6ft swell from the ENE, with moderate energy, but a cross-onshore breeze at 9 mph churns it up. That afternoon, the swell jumps to 7ft from the same direction, with strong energy, and a cross-off wind cleans things up a bit. It’s only a 1 out of 10 though.
Your best bet, and the only real standout, is the morning of Friday, August 28th. You get a 6ft swell from the E, with strong energy. The wind goes offshore from the NW at 12 mph, and the forecast says the surf should be good, rating a 2. That’s your cleanest window. The period is short though, about 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit fat and drifty on this beach/jetty setup, but it’s the pick of a bad bunch.
Crowds are only “sometimes” here, so you won’t be elbow-to-elbow. But with a spot this inconsistent and a forecast this quiet, it’s mostly a waiting game. That Friday morning on the 28th is the only time I’d bother waxing up.
Rusty.
