The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be real about what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the outlook for 10th Street (Avalon) is a tough one. For the entire 16-day run, it’s all tagged as "poor surf conditions." From Saturday the 25th of July right through to Sunday the 9th of August, there’s not a single session worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, mostly around 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with a weak combined wave energy that rarely gets above 100 — most of the time it’s down in the single digits or low double digits, like 65 on Saturday morning or a flat 1 on the 4th of August. It’s a long stretch of very small, weak surf.
The water temperature is sitting at 76°F with a 2°F anomaly, so it’s pretty average for this time of year. Nothing to write home about there.
The best of a bad bunch might be Tuesday afternoon the 28th of July. The swell is only 3 ft from the SSE with a period of just 4 seconds, so it’s weak and wonky, but the wind is a cross-offshore from the WSW, 9 mph, keeping things clean. The combined energy hits 59, which is still weak, but it’s one of the few times the wind isn’t trashing it. Even then, it’s not going to be a classic.
Friday morning the 31st of July is another quiet moment. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the ENE, but the wind is glassy — WNW at 3 mph. The water will be looking like a mirror. It’s a pretty morning, but there’s no power in the water. The combined energy is only 32.
If you’re a beginner, the swell barely ever gets above 5 ft, so the size is never a problem. But the problem is the quality, or lack of it. For most of the run, the wind is onshore or cross-shore, chopping up what little swell there is. The break is a beach and jetty setup, and with the wind angles we’re seeing, it’s more of a kiteboarding prospect than a surfing one. The consistent onshore flow and small chop make it interesting for kites, not for paddle surfing.
This is a spot that’s inconsistent, and this forecast proves it. A blank run like this isn’t unusual for the area. We’ll have to wait for the next weather system to bring some life back. It tends not to stay this poor forever, but for now, keep your board in the car and your expectations low.
Rusty.
