The Lowdown
Right, lookin’ at the charts for the next 16 days and honestly, it’s a quiet stretch for Avalon. We’ve got a real gap here: not a single decent wave shows up until Sunday the 6th of September. That’s over a week of very small, weak, sloppy conditions. Nothing to paddle for.
When things finally start stirring around the 6th, the swell is still only ankle-to-knee high, around 3ft from the ESE, with a moderate energy reading (205). The good news is the wind swings offshore from the W and NW, cleaning things right up—that’s about the only highlight. It’s surfable, but you’d be scratching for a ride. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.
The 7th and 8th of September stay similar: small 3ft east swell with clean, moderate offshore winds. Still just ordinary waves, but at least the lineup looks glassy in the morning on the 7th. By the afternoon of the 9th, we see a bit more size—4ft from the S—but the period drops to a short 5 seconds, making it weak and crumbly.
Overall, it’s a big dry spell then a small, clean run. Nothing stands out as good. If you absolutely need a paddle, the mornings of the 6th and 7th are your best bet for the cleanest conditions, but keep expectations low. Right now, this is more of a kiteboarder’s forecast than a surfer’s.
