Avalanche fires on a solid WNW or W swell in the 4-8 ft range with 13+ second period and light east winds. The sweet spot is a dropping mid-tide—too high and the wave gets fat against the cliffs, too low and the rocks become hazardous. Fall and winter deliver the most consistent quality sessions. Morning glass before 10 AM is critical here because the afternoon onshore funnels hard along the cliffs. The best days have a NW swell with enough west to wrap into the 260-degree aspect.
