The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’m looking at the charts for the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch for 10th Street (Avalon). This is a beach/jetty setup that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and we’ve got a long, quiet run ahead.
The outlook kicks off on Monday the 20th, but don’t get excited. We’re looking at a tiny 0.3ft SE swell with a long 12-second period, but the wind is a cross-on from the east. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 76°, but the wave energy is barely a whisper at 8. It’s just poor surf conditions. That same flat, poor picture holds through Monday afternoon.
Tuesday the 21st brings a little bump – a 4ft S swell, but the period is a short, weak 5 seconds, and it’s blown out by a cross-on wind from the SSW at 12 mph. The energy is still weak at 95, and it’s a choppy, poor mess. Tuesday afternoon is even worse, dropping to 0.3ft with a fresh cross-on wind.
From Wednesday the 22nd through to the end of the month, this spot basically shuts down. There’s no swell to speak of, with energy values dropping to zero or single digits. There are a few mornings with clean cross-off winds, like Thursday the 23rd and Saturday the 1st of August, but with no waves, it’s just a flat, glassy lake. Not a paddle in sight.
The best we can hope for is a very minor pulse on Friday the 24th afternoon, with a 4ft swell from the east at a short 6 seconds, giving a moderate energy of 101, but it’s cross-shore wind and choppy. It’s not really worth a look.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The whole 16-day window is a blank run for a wave at 10th Street. It’s a classic summer flat spell for this area. Sometimes that’s just how it goes. Keep the board waxed and wait for the next system.
Rusty.
