The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day stretch is looking like a write-off. We’ve got a solid two weeks of nothing but small, weak, and messy conditions, followed by a few cleaner days, but still no real swell to speak of. The first proper surf recommendation doesn’t pop up until the 30th of July, but even then, it’s a non-starter.
From Thursday the 30th of July right through until the 9th of August, it’s a real battle. The swell is tiny, barely pushing 2ft to 3ft, and the wind is relentless, blowing cross-on from the south and southwest for days on end. That combo is just choppy, lumpy, and honestly, not worth paddling out for. The wave energy is weak, sitting between 18 and 100 (100) most of that time, no punch at all. On Saturday the 2nd of August, the swell drops to 2ft with a period of just 4 seconds – that’s pure wind chop, no shape. By Monday the 3rd of August, the wind picks up to 18 to 22 mph from the south, making it a total mess. Conditions like this are more suited to kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The only real glimmer of hope comes right at the tail end, on the 9th and 10th of August. On Sunday the 9th of August, we finally get a break in the wind. For the morning, it’s a gentle offshore breeze from the northwest at 9 mph. The water temperature is a warm 75°, which is about average for the time of year. The swell is still tiny at 1ft from the SE, with a period of 7 seconds, so the wave energy is only 26 (26). It’s clean, but it’s a knee-high dribbler. The Monday morning the 10th of August is similar, with a light west-southwest breeze, clean conditions, but the same non-existent swell. Avalon 15th Street is a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, and takes a SE swell, but there’s just no power behind it.
This is a classic flat spell for the area. A blank run like this is more normal here. Forecasts can change, but for now, I’d leave the board in the car and wait for a better window.
