Table - best surf conditions forecast for 10th Street (Avalon) over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim picture. The whole 16-day window is a flat spell with barely a ripple. There’s no surf worth paddling out for right now, and it stays that way. We’re looking at a solid run of poor conditions with next to no wave energy. The combined swell energy barely cracks 86 on the best day, and that’s weak. Most days it’s struggling in the teens or single digits. That’s a long, quiet stretch for the area.
The one spot we’ve got to work with is 10th Street (Avalon), a beach and jetty setup. It’s inconsistent anyway, so this kind of blank run isn’t totally out of the blue. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or choppy. There’s a brief moment on Tuesday morning, July 14th, with glassy conditions and a tiny 2ft swell from the ESE at 9 seconds, but the energy is still way too low to form a proper wave. It’s a pretty, flat ocean. Not much else to say.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
If you’re a kite surfer, even the small bump on July 21st with 4ft from the south and cross-onshore wind might be more interesting than anything for a paddle board. But for us surfers, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can always change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.
