The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a flat spell. There's nothing doing for a good long while. The first bit of surf worth talking about doesn't show up until Monday the 3rd of August, and even then, it's a rough start. We're looking at a solid gap of days with no real recommendations before we get anything that might be rideable, so don't be in a rush.
The first real action we see is on Monday the 3rd of August. Avalon 15th Street will see a small SSE swell, around 4.3ft, but it's coming with a short 8-second period. The wind is a cross-shore, and it's not clean. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year. The wave energy is moderate (211), but the conditions are just poor. It's a "risk tstorm" day, and the surf is a write-off. This pattern of small, messy swell and onshore or cross-shore winds just keeps rolling through the week. Tuesday the 4th is even smaller with onshore wind, Wednesday the 5th is choppy, and so on. Frankly, it's all pretty grim for a paddle.
We do get a little window of hope on Saturday the 8th of August. The morning shows a light WSW offshore breeze, making things clean. The swell is tiny, only 2ft from the S with a 6-second period, and the energy is weak (47). It's not going to be a classic, but for a beginner-friendly spot, that clean, glassy morning is your best bet in the first week. It's a standout only because everything else is so poor.
Then the second week rolls in, and it's more of the same quiet story. Tuesday the 11th of August morning has a clean, light offshore breeze from the N, with a little 3ft SSW swell (energy 91). It's small, but it'll be the cleanest wave of the week. After that, it's back to tiny, weak swells and onshore winds. The weekend of the 15th and 16th of August sees a bump in the swell again, hitting 3.3ft to 4.3ft on the Saturday, but the wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy. It's a long-range call, so don't pin your hopes on it just yet.
Overall, this is a tough outlook. The best surf is going to be those rare, clean mornings with a super small swell. For a beginner spot, it's not a disaster, but there's no real punch to anything. For a more experienced surfer, there's nothing here to get excited about. The consistent poor conditions and small swell mean this setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the forecasts. It tends not to stay this way forever.
