Table - best surf conditions forecast for 10th Street (Avalon) over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next two weeks at 10th Street (Avalon) are about as flat as a pancake. There’s nothing on the table that’s worth paddling out for. The whole 16-day window is a write-off, I’m afraid. You’ve got a long stretch of days with no real surf to speak of. The first hint of any rideable energy doesn’t even show up until the very end, and even then, it’s poor.
The water is sitting at 76° now, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s unusual.
The first real pulse of swell we see is around Sunday the 12th into Monday the 13th, with some east-northeasterly swell pushing up to 4 ft. But it’s a short period junkyard at 5-6 seconds, and the wind is a messy cross-onshore. The combined energy hits 133 (moderate), but the surf quality is poor. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.
There’s a tiny window on Wednesday the 15th afternoon where the swell bumps to 5 ft from the south, but again, period is a woeful 5 seconds, and it’s cross-shore. The combined energy is 134 (moderate), but it’s not going to be a pretty sight.
The rest of the days are dribble. Tiny 0.7 ft to 2 ft slop, with the odd glassy morning on Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 19th, but the swell is so small it’s barely a ripple. The combined energy values are in the single digits or low teens (weak energy). It’s a blank run.
I wouldn’t waste the wax. Keep an eye on things, but the forecasts can change. For now, it’s a total loss.
Rusty.
