Table - best surf conditions forecast for 10th Street (Avalon) over the next 16 days.
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest, it’s a bit of a slow start. We’re looking at a stretch of days where you might be better off keeping the board in the car.
The first real chance to get wet is around Tuesday, July 14th, down at 10th Street (Avalon). The water’s running at a balmy 76°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – you won’t be needing a thick wetsuit, that’s for sure.
Tuesday morning is where it’s at. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell rolling in from the ESE, and the wind is glassy. Dead flat calm. That’s a rare treat for a spot like this which is only inconsistently breaking. The wave energy is still moderate at 284, so it’ll have a bit of punch, but the period is short (8 seconds), which means it’ll be a bit weaker and more crumbly. For a beach/jetty setup, that’s actually fine. Given it’s inconsistent, if you see a few lines on Tuesday morning, you’ve timed it well. The crowds can turn up here sometimes.
The rest of that week and into the next is grim reading. By Tuesday afternoon the wind swings onshore and chops it up, and we’ve got nothing but small, messy, or blown-out junk for days. We’ve got a gap from the 15th right through to the 21st of July where there’s nothing worth paddling out for.
Then, on Tuesday, July 21st, there’s a little flicker. The afternoon turns glassy again with a calm wind, and we get 5ft of swell from the south (5 second period). The energy is moderate at 124, which is something, but the wave comment says it’s just ordinary. It’s surfable, but only just. Light rain might put you off too.
The rest of the 16-day period fades out into tiny, clean but non-existent surf.
Truth be told, for an area that’s inconsistent, a run this poor isn’t that unusual. The main window is that Tuesday morning, July 14th. If you’re free, go. Otherwise, wait for the next weather system to change things up.
