The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a tough run on the board at 10th Street (Avalon) for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a long, dry patch to get through before anything worth paddling out for shows up. The whole outlook is based on just this one break, so we’re locked into what it gives us.
Right now, the surf is tiny and the conditions are poor. We’re looking at a gap of over a week with no real recommendations. From Tuesday morning, August 25th, all the way through to Friday morning, September 4th, it’s basically flat or near-flat, with weak energy readings – mostly sitting between 25 and 50 on the combined energy scale, which is barely a ripple. Winds are all over the shop, mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the swell heights are a measly 1 ft to 2 ft. Not worth wetting a wetsuit for.
Now, there is a tiny glimmer late in the forecast. On the morning of Saturday, September 5th, we finally see a pulse of energy. Swell bumps up to 3 ft from the ESE, with a period of 11 seconds – that’s a solid long-period groundswell, which holds some real push for a beach/jetty setup. The combined energy jumps to 202, which is moderate, but the real kicker is the wind: a light NW breeze blowing offshore at 9 mph. That’s clean, glassy conditions for a change. The waves will be ridable, but it’s inconsistent here as a rule, and the wave comment says “surfable but very ordinary.” It’s not going to blow your mind, but after a week-plus of nothing, it’s the best we’ve got.
The next morning, Sunday, September 6th, the swell drops back to 4 ft from the S, but the period is a short 6 seconds – that’s pure windswell, sloppy and weak. Energy is down to 142, and with a cross-offshore wind it’ll be clean but gutless. Not a standout.
So, if you’re hanging for a surf, mark the morning of Saturday, September 5th. It’s your one and only real shot, and even then it’s not epic – just clean and ridable. Beyond that, the forecast trails off into nothing again. Hold tight, mate.
