The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty. Let’s call it like it is for 10th Street (Avalon): this forecast is a long, flat stretch.
There’s a big dead zone at the start. The first few days are basically ankle-biters or flat calm, with the wave energy barely hitting 22. The water is a warm 78°, and running about 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s notably hot, but the surf is still missing.
The first day that might get you out of bed is the morning of August 18th. There’s a long period groundswell from the SE at 1 ft, but with a 15-second period. That’s a very long interval, meaning big gaps between sets and more of a drawn-out energy on a beach/jetty break. The energy (47) is weak. The wind is clean and offshore, so the surface will look perfect, but you’ll be waiting forever for a wave you can barely ride.
The only real standout in this whole stretch comes on the morning of August 23rd. A short period S swell hits 4 ft – that’s moving into expert territory if you’re not comfortable in bigger, punchier stuff. The combined energy is moderate at 151. It’s clean with a light offshore NW wind. The downside is the swell is coming from the S, but this spot works best with a NE swell. You’ll get surfable, clean waves, but the shape won’t be as good as it could be. It’s the best window you’re going to get.
After that, the morning of August 24th offers a bit of long-period SE groundswell at 1 ft, with a 12-second period and only 67 energy. Small and clean, but nothing to write home about.
Look, 10th Street (Avalon) is inconsistent, and this forecast proves it. There’s no reliable, high-quality swell in the whole 16 days. If you’re itching, the morning of the 23rd is your only real chance. Otherwise, it’s a long wait.
Rusty.
