Table - best surf conditions forecast for 10th Street (Avalon) over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s have a proper look at what’s coming up for 10th Street in Avalon. Honestly, for the first week or so, it’s a bit of a waiting game. The waves are tiny and the conditions aren’t offering much to get excited about.
We kick off Friday the 10th with barely a ripple – you’re looking at 1 ft at best, coming in from the ENE with a short 8-second period. The energy is weak (35) and even though the wind is a light cross-off, it’s just not enough to work with. That kinda sets the tone for the next week and a half. Day after day we’ve got flat to knee-high slop, a lot of cross-shore and onshore wind, and the combined energy barely gets above 80. The water temperature is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when you’re staring at nothing.
There’s a long, dry spell here – from the 10th right through to the morning of Monday the 21st, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. Seriously, it’s dead.
Then, finally, on Tuesday the 21st, things start to wake up. The morning shows a clean, gentle offshore breeze from the NW and the swell bumps up to 4 ft from the east with a 7-second period. The combined energy climbs to 161 (moderate). It’s not a world-beater, but after all that flatness, it’s the first real sign of life. The afternoon holds similar – 5 ft, still offshore, still clean, energy at 198. The waves are surfable but the conditions are just ordinary. Still, considering how empty it’s been, this is the best we’ve got in the whole window. This is the standout, but only because everything else is so weak. It’s a small window of clean, rideable waves for the patient local.
Wednesday the 22nd builds a little more size – 5 ft in the morning with energy at 214 – but the wind swings cross and the quality drops. Thursday the 23rd holds similar size but the wind turns onshore and choppy, so it’s messy again. By Friday the 24th, there’s a brief moment in the afternoon with a clean cross-off breeze and 4 ft from the NE, but by Saturday the 25th, it’s all fading back to knee-high dribble.
If you really need a surf, Tuesday the 21st is your day. Early morning, offshore wind, clean faces, and chest-high sets from the east. It’s not pumping, but it’s the only window that offers anything like a real session.
