The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you. This next couple of weeks at 10th Street (Avalon) is lookin' pretty grim. It's a tough stretch for a spot that's already inconsistent, so a blank run like this isn't totally out of the ordinary for the area. The onshore junk is gonna be the main story for most of it, with just a few fleeting moments of calm.
The water's sitting at a toasty 76°, which is a touch warmer than we'd expect for this time of year. Not a game-changer, but nice.
The first hint of something that's not a total write-off is on Saturday, July 25th. The morning shows a glassy ocean with a 0.8 ft swell out of the SE. The combined energy is a weak 75, so it's not gonna be punchy, but with the wind dead flat, it'll be the cleanest you'll see it. The period is a short 9 seconds, so don't expect any real grunt.
Then we jump to Tuesday, July 28th. The morning brings a 4 ft SSW swell with a short 5-second period, pushing the combined energy to a moderate 115. The wind is a clean cross-offshore, so it'll look tidy. But with that short period, it's gonna be a bit of a close-out mess on the beach. It's surfable, but ordinary.
That’s honestly about the best of it. After that, it's back to tiny, wind-affected dribble through the end of the month and into August. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for anything decent. Don't bet the farm on it.
Rusty.
