Table - best surf conditions forecast for 10th Street (Avalon) over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's look at what's on the table for 10th Street (Avalon), and I gotta be straight with you – it ain't looking pretty.
We've got about two and a half weeks here, and for the vast majority of it, you're better off finding something else to do. The water's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 76°, but that's the only highlight.
The first surf that's even worth talking about doesn't show up until the morning of Monday the 21st of July. Before that, from the 11th right through to the 20th, it's a drought. Nothing but poor surf conditions day after day, with tiny, weak waves and bad wind. You'll see a bit of a pulse of energy on the 13th with a 3ft swell, but it's onshore wind and a score of zero – just chop. A total write-off.
So, on Monday the 21st, we finally get something. The morning brings a 5ft swell from the ENE with a period of 7 seconds, and crucially, a light offshore wind from the W. That's clean. The combined energy is moderate at 181. It's surfable, but the report says "very ordinary conditions," so don't expect anything stellar. It's a beach and jetty setup, inconsistent, and it can get crowded sometimes. That morning window is the only real chance in the whole outlook.
After that, it's back to the same story. The 22nd and 23rd see the swell actually building, with Thursday the 23rd hitting 7ft from the ENE and a combined energy of 415 – that's strong wave energy. But the wind is cross or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. At that size, with a period of just 7 seconds and poor conditions, it's no good for a paddle. Frankly, that kind of setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The weekend of the 25th and 26th fades back to tiny, weak swell and lumpy wind.
So, to sum it up: the only standout, and I'm using that term loosely, is the morning of Monday the 21st of July. It's the only clean window in a long, long stretch of nothing. Don't hold your breath for the rest of it.
Stay patient.
