The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll be straight with you. For 10th Street (Avalon) from July 19 through August 3, there’s nothing worth your time. Every single forecast period shows poor surf conditions – zero out of ten. The swell is tiny, wind is all over the place, and the break is already inconsistent. This is a real dry spell.
Water temp is about 77° – a bit warmer than average for this time of year, so if you’re just hanging out, it’s okay. But for surfing? No dice. The combined energy numbers are mostly low, the highest being 226 on the afternoon of July 28, but that’s with a 6ft S swell and fresh cross-onshore wind – lumpy, choppy, not surfable. The jetty wants a northeast swell, but we’re getting southeast and south, short periods, and no real push.
The entire 16-day window is a blank. 10th Street is inconsistent anyway, so a run like this is normal. It won’t stay flat forever, but for now, don’t bother.
