Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.
Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty bleak stretch ahead for 10th Street (Avalon). We’re looking at a solid two weeks with almost nothing to get excited about. The whole period is filled with tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. There’s a gap of poor surf from now all the way through, with the first few days especially grim.
For Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th, it’s small and messy. Swell is tiny at 1ft to 2ft from the SE and ENE, with short periods of 6 to 9 seconds. The wind is cross or cross-onshore, so it’s choppy and ugly. Combined energy is weak, sitting in the 30s and 50s (37 to 59). Not worth paddling out.
Wednesday the 8th sees a bump in size to 4ft from the ENE, but it’s still a short-period 6 seconds, and the wind is cross-shore. Wave energy climbs to a moderate 124, but with poor surf conditions noted, it’s still a no-go. Thursday the 9th drops back to 2ft with a moderate cross-onshore breeze. No joy.
Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th offer the cleanest conditions of this whole sorry outlook, with light offshore and cross-offshore winds, but the swell is pathetic—1.0ft to 1ft. Wave energy is a paltry 17 to 30. You might get a tiny, clean wave, but it’s barely surfable.
Sunday the 12th afternoon has a pulse of 5ft from the SSE, but it’s a 5-second period, so it’s just lumpy and weak. Energy hits 123, but with onshore wind, it’s poor.
The rest of the forecast into the second week is more of the same: tiny swell, mostly under 1.0ft, with occasional clean windows but no real power. The water temp is a notable 77°F for the first mention, which is 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year—very unusual, but it doesn’t help the surf.
If you’re desperate, the cleanest little knee-high rollers might show on the morning of Saturday the 11th with a light NNW offshore, but you’ll be fighting the inconsistency. This is a classic case of “don’t bother.” For paddle surfing, there’s nothing on offer. With the combination of poor quality, small swell, and onshore winds at times, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddling.
All in all, it’s a flat spell. Hang the board up for a while.
