The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch on the horizon. The forecast is a long, slow grind of small, weak surf and mostly crummy winds. You’re looking at a solid 10 days of pretty much nothing worth paddling out for. The real problem is that the wave energy is just pitiful, with the combined energy of all swells staying under 100 (weak) for the first week and a half. It’s not going to be easy.
Let’s start with the only real glimmer of hope. The first half of the window is a write-off, but things might finally stir on Thursday, July 30th. The morning at 10th Street (Avalon) sees a bump in swell to 5ft from the ENE, with a period of 6 seconds. The wind is offshore out of the WNW at 9 mph, which is a major positive. The combined energy here is 118 (moderate), so there’s a bit more life in the water than the days before. It’s labeled as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," so don’t expect a classic session. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 77°F.
For the rest of the run, it’s a battle. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the swell heights barely twitch. On Tuesday, July 28th, the afternoon shows a lumpy 5ft from the S with a short 6-second period, but the wind is a messy cross-onshore at 16 mph. The combined energy spikes to 190 (moderate), but it’s going to be choppy and blown out. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a good paddle session.
The long-range outlook into the first week of August doesn’t offer any relief either. The swell drops back to ankle-snappers, and the winds stay tricky. It’s a real dry spell. The only standout is that Thursday, July 30th morning window, but even that is a "maybe" rather than a "hell yeah." Keep your expectations low and your eye on the forecast.
Stay patient,
Rusty
