The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I’m looking at the charts and the outlook is a tough one. We’ve got a long, dry run of nothing worth paddling out for. For the first week and a half, there’s just no surf to speak of. It’s a frustrating gap that stretches from now until pretty much the last few days of July. You’re looking at a solid 10 to 11 day stretch where the only thing breaking is the heat. The models are showing a whole lot of flat lines and tiny, unrideable slop. It’s not going to be fun.
The one spot we’ve got in the crosshairs is 10th Street (Avalon). It’s a beach/jetty setup that’s fairly exposed, but it’s inconsistent and needs a lot of things to line up. Right now, the only flicker of life comes right at the end of the month. On Thursday, July 30th, the water is a touch warmer than normal at 77°, but that’s about the only warm note. The swell is tiny and weak, barely a ripple. The combined energy is a measly 1 (1). It’s clean in the morning with a light breeze, but with no swell, it’s a lake. You’ll get a better look at the ocean from the parking lot.
The following week into August looks just as bleak. We’re stuck with short-period, weak energy from the east and southeast. Nothing gets above 2 ft, and the period is down around 6 to 7 seconds. That’s just wind chop. The combined energy stays in the low double digits, tops out around 43 (43) – that’s barely a pulse. The wind tends to be cross or cross-onshore, so even if there was a ripple, it’d be chopped up. Honestly, for the whole 16-day window, if you’re looking for a genuine surf, you’re out of luck. For a spot that’s inconsistent, this blank run feels pretty normal.
Keep your eyes on the charts, but don’t hold your breath. This is a waiting game.
Rusty.
