The Lowdown
Right, listen up, surfers. Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the outlook is a bummer for the whole 16-day window. There’s a real dry spell on the cards. The forecast is littered with “poor surf conditions” labels, and nothing really stands out as a good session. You’re looking at a long gap of flat to tiny, messy waves, with only a few moments that get close to being rideable, but even those have strong caveats.
For the first week, from Sunday 26 July right through to Sunday 2 August, it’s mostly tiny windswell. Swell heights hover around 0.7 ft to 4 ft, but the quality is terrible. The combined swell energy is weak, with the highest reading hitting a moderate 269 on the afternoon of Thursday 30 July. That's the most energy we see, but even then it’s described as “marginal.” Direction is from the ENE and E, which is across the beach at 10th Street (Avalon), and the wind is mostly cross or onshore, adding chop and making it ugly.
We get a tiny blip of clean conditions on the morning of Tuesday 28 July, with a glassy 2 ft swell from the SE, but the energy is a very weak 35 and the period is short at 8 seconds. Not worth getting excited about. The water temp is 75°F, which is about average for the time of year.
Then from Monday 3 August to the end of the window on Monday 10 August, it gets even worse. Swell drops to nothing, with heights of 0.3 ft to 2 ft and combined swell energy barely registering above 40. The wind is a mix of cross-off and cross, which keeps the surface clean, but there’s literally nothing to ride. It’s a total flat spell.
If the swell were significant—say over 5 ft—with these beach break conditions and strong wind, I’d say it looks more interesting for kite surfing. But as it stands, it’s poor for any kind of paddle surfing. This kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area in this season.
Rusty.
