The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table. This is going to be a long, quiet stretch of surf, so don't get your hopes up.
Looking at the full 16-day window, it's pretty flat from the get-go. We start on Wednesday, July 22nd, and the waves are just not there. The combined swell energy is weak, starting at a measly 134 and then just dropping off into the basement. It's a long stretch of tiny surf.
The only break in the forecast is Avalon 15th Street. It's a mellow, beginner-friendly beach break that's fairly exposed to the south and southeast. But the numbers are grim. We're looking at waves mostly under 3 feet, with short periods, and nothing with any punch. On the morning of July 22nd, you've got a 3ft swell from the south, but the 25 km/h WSW wind is going to wreck any chance of a clean wave. Water temp is about 76°, which is standard for this time of year.
As we roll into the second week, it's more of the same. A few windows of clean offshore wind pop up, like the morning of July 29th, but the swell is only around 2 feet. You'd be hunting for ankle-biters. By August, the combined energy drops to near zero, with waves barely hitting 1 foot.
Honestly, there is nothing to get excited about. For the entire 16-day outlook, there is no standout swell, no clean conditions with size, and no real reason to paddle out. It's a solid flat spell. Keep an eye on it, but right now, save your energy.
Rusty.
