The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s check out what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks around 10th Street (Avalon). I’ll be straight with you – this stretch of sand is going to be tough for a while. We’ve got a long gap right out of the gate with hardly anything worth paddling for.
The first real chance you’ll get to even think about a wave comes on Friday, July 31st, but it’s a mixed bag. That’s more than a week away, so keep your expectations in check. The swell is coming from the ENE at 7 ft, with a period of 8 seconds. That’s a decent amount of water, but at that size, it’s really only for the experienced crew. The wind is light from the SW in the morning, a cross-shore, so it might be semi-clean. The combined energy bumps up to 474, which is moderate. The crowds here are sometimes a problem, so expect some company if it looks half-decent.
After that, there’s a bit of a fade. Saturday, August 2nd, in the afternoon, we get a clean scrap from the S at 4 ft and a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is 121 (weak to moderate). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the WNW, so the surface will be clean. It’s surfable, but ordinary. The water temperature is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, around 77°.
For the rest of this outlook, it’s mostly small, weak, and choppy. The wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell direction doesn’t match the optimum NE direction for this spot. Inconsistent is the word, and it’s a beach/jetty setup, so when the period is short and the wind is messy, it’s just not worth the effort. This area really can go quiet, so a blank run like this isn’t that unusual.
The best on offer is that Friday, July 31st morning window, but it’s a big swell for a beach break, and it’s not a standout by any means. Don’t get your hopes up too high for the second week – it’s marginal.
Catch you on the next one.
