The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s happening at 10th Street (Avalon).
Honestly, mate, the next couple of weeks are a bit of a write-off for any decent waves at this spot. We’ve got a long, dry stretch ahead. For the first ten days or so, from Saturday the 12th right through to early on Tuesday the 22nd, it’s pretty much all poor surf conditions. You’re looking at tiny, short-period slop that’s mostly cross-shore or onshore. Not worth paddling out for.
The water temperature is sitting at 77°F, which is about 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s very unusual for the area. You’ll be sweating in your wetsuit, if you even wear one.
That long gap finally breaks on Wednesday the 23rd of September. That morning is the one stand-out in the whole 16-day window. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell rolling in from the SE with a period of 7 seconds. The combined swell energy hits 371 – that’s a moderate pulse of energy. The wind is just a slight air from the north, keeping it cross-offshore and clean. This is a beach/jetty setup that’s fairly exposed, so it'll likely offer some fun, punchy lefts and rights if the tide lines up. It’s got enough size to be interesting, but still manageable for most. Expect some crowds here because it can get busy at 10th Street.
The afternoon that same day drops off with a marginal 6ft and a sloppy onshore wind, so get your session in early.
After that, we get a few more cleaner days heading into the Saturday the 26th of September morning and afternoon. That Saturday morning brings another 6ft swell from the ENE with 7 seconds and a light offshore wind from the NW by the afternoon – clean and glassy. Energy is strong at 355. That afternoon could be the other real highlight.
Overall, the 23rd morning and the 26th afternoon are your best bets. Don't bother with anything else.
Rusty.
