The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again. Let’s run through this in feet and knots for you.
It’s a rough start for 10th Street (Avalon). From Saturday the 5th of September, there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for until Monday the 14th. That’s a solid week plus of tiny, weak surf. The combined swell energy barely makes a whisper – mostly staying under 100 – with small waves and messy wind. This kind of dry spell happens here.
Water temp is running much warmer than normal at 78°F – a solid 7°F above average, so the ocean feels weirdly warm for this time of year.
Things try to pick up around Tuesday the 15th afternoon, with a 4ft swell from the NE, but the period is a weak 5 seconds and the wind is cross-onshore. Combined energy hits 116, but it’s just not clean.
The only real standout comes on Friday morning the 18th of September. We get a 6ft swell from the E, period up to 9 seconds, with light cross-onshore breeze and just small ripples. The combined energy is strong at 539. That’s the best size and power of the run. Still, the wind is not glassy, but it’s the closest to a real session. Keep in mind this spot is inconsistent, and with swell over 5ft, it’s better suited for intermediate surfers. The direction is ENE, not the perfect NE, but it’s workable.
Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th have bigger numbers (6–7ft from ENE, with combined energy in the 380–454 range), but the period is short and wind is onshore. Those will be messy and choppy – better for kites than paddling.
After the 18th, it fades back to small stuff under 4ft with cross-on breezes.
Bottom line: If you’re patient, Friday the 18th morning is your best shot. It’s not perfect, but it’s the only one with some real power.
Rusty.
