The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this doesn’t look good. We’ve got a 16-day window for 10th Street (Avalon), and to be honest, there’s not a single standout moment. The whole run is a write-off for any decent paddle surfing.
The pattern starts with a weak, messy 1ft SE swell on Saturday the 1st, copping a cross-on S wind at 12 mph. It’s just choppy and poor. Sunday the 2nd sees a bit more size – 4ft to 4ft – but it’s short-period, wind-affected junk from the SSE. The combined energy on Sunday afternoon hits 99 (moderate), but the wind is onshore and messy. We go flat from Monday the 3rd right through to Wednesday the 5th, with no swell at all. Thursday the 6th afternoon brings a spike to 5ft from the S, period of just 5 seconds, and cross-on wind again at 16 mph – the energy is 118 (moderate), but it’s just a wind-chopped mess. That's the biggest swell of the outlook, but not surfable.
The rest of the first week and into the second is a saga of tiny, weak waves – mostly under 1ft – with periods that are either too short or too long for this beach/jetty setup. The best wind we see is a few glassy or clean slots on the 12th, 13th, and 15th, but with only 0.7ft to 2ft on offer, it’s barely a ripple. The water temp is a warm 75° with a +0.3° anomaly, so about average for this time of year, but that doesn’t help the complete lack of swell.
Honestly, for this entire 16-day run, there’s nothing to recommend. If you’re into kite surfing, the bigger, windier days might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a total blank. The water temp is normal for the season, but the surf just isn’t there. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, I’d save the energy.
Rusty.
