The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and lackluster for 10th Street (Avalon). We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak surf and less-than-ideal winds. If you’re desperate for a paddle, we’ve got a few windows, but don’t expect any fireworks.
The water is running about 76°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year—nothing crazy, but you might not need the full wetsuit.
The first bit of hope shows up on the morning of Saturday, August 8th. It’s not big—you’re looking at surf around 3ft from the south with a short, 6-second period. The energy is weak, only 94, but the wind is light and slightly offshore. It’s going to be clean, so if you’re jonesing, that’s your window. It’s not a standout, just a chance to get wet.
Then we hit a long, dry spell. From the 9th through the 15th, it’s mostly tiny, knee-high dribble with poor conditions. There’s a lot of nothing out there.
The first real, honest-to-goodness standout arrives on the morning of Sunday, August 16th. We’ve got a swell coming from the ENE at 4ft with a 6-second period. The energy is still pretty weak at 88, but the wind is light and offshore, so it should be clean. It’s not going to blow you away, but for this stretch, it’s the best we’ve got.
The next morning, Monday, August 17th, is the second one to circle. The swell is a touch smaller at 3ft, still from the ENE, but here’s the kicker: we’ve got a moderate offshore breeze from the NNW in the morning, which will have the waves peeling nicely. It’s a short-period swell, so it’ll be a bit sectiony, but it’s clean and rideable. If you can get out before the afternoon wind picks up, you’ll be in for a few fun ones.
After that, the surf fades away again. The energy just isn’t there, and we’re back to small, weak conditions for the rest of the outlook.
So, there you have it. It’s not a classic stretch, but there are a few mornings where you can get a few if you’re keen. Don't expect much, and you might be pleasantly surprised.
Rusty out.
