The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this is a grim run for the Avalon stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry 16-day window with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. The whole forecast period is a write-off for surf.
Starting right now, Friday the 31st of July, and all the way through to Saturday the 15th of August, there isn’t a single session that’s worth your time. The swell is tiny, the wind is almost always wrong, and the energy is weak. The first days are a no-go, and the gap of poor conditions just stretches out with no real change.
For 10th Street (Avalon), the swell is barely a ripple. You’re looking at waves around 0.7 ft to 2 ft most days, with the occasional tiny pulse from the east or southeast. The combined energy is pathetic, barely cracking 20–40 (moderate wave energy) on the best days, but mostly sitting in the single digits or low teens (weak energy). That’s just not enough push to surf.
The wind is the real killer. Nearly every morning and afternoon is cross-on or onshore, often from the south or southwest, gusting 12 to 19 mph. That’s choppy, lumpy, and just blown out. There are a couple of brief moments—like the late afternoon of the 9th of August when it goes glassy, or the 11th of August with clean cross-off winds from the north—but even then the swell is so small (0.7 ft to 1 ft) and the period is short (6-7 seconds), it’s still not surfable.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual to note.
This is a classic blank run for this area. It’s inconsistent here at the best of times, and when the summer storms roll in with this much wind and no swell, you just have to wait it out. For a beach/jetty setup like this, with such weak, short-period swells and constant onshore winds, it honestly looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle. There are no standouts, no hidden gems—just a whole lot of nothing.
Hang in there, stay patient. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a solid two weeks off.
Rusty.
