The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this 16-day window for 10th Street (Avalon) is a tough one. The water is sitting at 77°, which is a full 5° warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s notable. But the swell? It’s almost non-existent. We’re looking at a long, dry stretch with barely a ripple.
The first few days are a write-off. From Tuesday the 1st through to the 10th of September, we’ve got tiny, weak swell with poor wind almost every session. The combined energy is mostly in the double digits (33, 150, 199, etc.), hitting moderate energy only a couple of times, but it’s paired with cross-onshore or cross-shore winds that chop everything up. The highlight of this dry spell is Thursday afternoon the 10th – a clean 4 ft south swell with a short 5-second period, but it’s described as “surfable but very ordinary” and only scores a 1. The light wind is clean, but the swell is just too weak and short to get excited about.
After that, we go into another quiet patch. From Friday the 11th to Tuesday the 15th, it’s back to 1 ft to 1 ft junk with poor to ordinary conditions. The only flicker of hope is Tuesday afternoon the 15th – a 4 ft NE swell with a 6-second period, 114 combined energy (moderate), and clean conditions. It’s surfable, but again, very ordinary.
The last day, Wednesday the 16th, brings a 3 ft east swell with a 7-second period and 100 combined energy, but the wind is cross-shore, making it choppy.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. The best on offer is probably the Thursday the 10th afternoon session, if you’re desperate for a paddle. It’s clean, but the swell is weak and short. This is a spot that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast is a blank run. It won’t stay poor forever, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend.
Rusty.
