The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks at 10th Street (Avalon). To be straight with you, it’s going to be a long, lean stretch. The swell is tiny and the winds are mostly from the wrong direction, so we’re looking at a whole lot of days where you’d be better off doing something else.
The first real flicker of something rideable doesn’t show up until Thursday the 30th of July. The morning has a weak 3 ft NE swell with a 7-second period, it’s small and clean with a light offshore breeze from the NNW. Not gonna set the world on fire, but it’s surfable. The standout during this whole quiet period is that Thursday afternoon. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the ENE, the period stays short at 7 seconds, and the wind goes glassy (WSW, 5 mph). The energy reading is only moderate at 160, so it’s not packing a punch, but for this stretch, that’s the one window where it might be half-decent. It’s still pretty ordinary, but if you’re desperate, that’s your best bet.
Beyond that, it’s a real dry spell. From the 31st of July right through to the 10th of August, the swell just drops away into nothing, mostly 0.7 ft to 1 ft with onshore or cross-onshore winds. There’s a little blip on Monday the 10th of August morning with a 4 ft SE swell, but the cross-onshore wind still has it labelled as poor. The crowds at 10th Street are only sometimes a problem, so that won’t be the issue—it’s the lack of any real wave energy. The surf is just too small and weak to get excited about. Honestly, this looks more like a paddling pool than a surf spot for the next couple of weeks.
