The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for 10th Street (Avalon) over the next couple of weeks. I'm not gonna lie to you, it's looking like a tough stretch for most of the period. We've got a lot of small, choppy days and some strong winds making a mess of things. The water temp is a notable 77°F, which is a whopping 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least the swim will be comfortable if the surf's not.
The first real bit of hope comes way out on Sunday the 27th of September. That morning, we see some potential with a clean 4ft swell from the east. By the afternoon, it cleans up even more with light winds and a 4ft swell from the east, with the period stretching to 11 seconds and plenty of energy in the water, promising some real punch. That Sunday afternoon is your standout window, looking clean and fun.
Monday the 28th of September still has some decent energy from the east with a 12-second period, but a moderate cross-shore wind will put a chop on it. It's not the clean session Sunday is, but if you're keen, there'll be some juice in the water. For the rest of the 16 days, the pickings are slim. There are a few days early on with “surfable but very ordinary conditions” but really, nothing worth paddling out for. You’re looking at a long gap of almost two weeks with no proper recommendations.
So to sum it up, the best call is to target the 27th of September, especially the afternoon, for your best chance at some clean, punchy waves. Before that, keep your board in the car but your expectations on the beach.
Rusty.
