The Lowdown
Alright, grab your coffee and listen up. Rusty here.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day run for the Avalon area, I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a bit of a flat spell. We’ve got a long, drawn-out gap here with nothing worth paddling out for. The first real chance of something that isn't a complete write-off doesn't show up until Wednesday the 2nd of September, and even then, it’s more of a tease than a treat.
So, for the first few days, you’re better off keeping the board in the car. Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st of August are pure flatness with tiny 1 ft SE slop and onshore or cross winds. The wave energy is pathetic (27), and it’s just not happening.
Now, Wednesday the 2nd of September is the first day I’d even bother looking at the ocean. 10th Street (Avalon) sees a little bump in the morning. We get a 3 ft SE swell, but here’s the interesting bit – the period jumps to 11 seconds, giving it some long-period grunt. That combined energy hits a moderate 142. The morning winds are light westerly, making it cross-off and clean. It’s surfable, but the notes say it’s “very ordinary conditions.” It’s not a standout, but it’s the only game in town.
After that morning window, the wind swings onshore again and it all falls apart. Thursday the 3rd is a mess with onshore ESE winds and a weak 3 ft windswell. Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th clean up with light offshore or cross-off breezes, but the swell drops back to 1.0 ft to 2 ft with energy barely hitting 55. It’s small and weak.
The best looking window, and the only real standout in this whole forecast, is Saturday the 5th of September in the afternoon. We get a clean, gentle offshore wind from the WNW at 9 mph with 1 ft E swell and a 9-second period. It’s small, but glassy and clean. For a longboard or a funboard, that’s your moment. That is the pick of the litter.
Everything else is a hard pass. The wave energy stays low, the winds are messy, and the swell is tiny. There’s a bit more energy on Monday the 7th (192 energy), but it’s a cross-on mess with light rain and onshore winds. Not worth it. The final few days in the second week show some glassy mornings, like the 12th and 14th, but with barely 1.0 ft on offer, it’s a lake. Honestly, if you’re looking for a paddle, bring a kayak.
Keep your eyes on the charts, lads. It tends not to stay this flat forever.
Rusty.
