The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll level with you. 10th Street (Avalon) is a beach and jetty spot that’s inconsistent, and this 16-day stretch is pretty much a total bust. No real surf on the table. That’s just how it goes sometimes here—forecasts can turn, so don’t lose hope.
We’re starting Monday, August 3rd, and it’s nasty. Thunderstorms, a cross-shore wind at 12 mph, and zero wave energy. The water’s about 76°, which is normal for the season, but that’s the only good news.
Tuesday the 4th: a tiny swell shows up. Morning has 3 ft from the ENE, period 5 seconds, weak energy (40). Wind is cross-shore at 12 mph, messy. Afternoon bumps to 4 ft from the E, same short period, energy 117, but still cross-shore and choppy.
Wednesday the 5th: morning goes glassy with a light breeze at 3 mph from the SSW. The swell is only 2 ft from the SE, period 7 seconds, energy 29. Clean but tiny. Afternoon stays small with a light cross-shore breeze.
Thursday the 6th: swell comes up to 4 ft from the S in the morning, period 6 seconds, energy 85. Wind picks up to 12 mph cross-shore, lumpy. Afternoon hits 4 ft from the S, period 6 seconds, energy 105, but the wind goes cross-onshore at 16 mph, making it choppy and poor.
Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th: more of the same. Saturday morning is the best of a bad lot—3 ft from the SSW, period 6 seconds, energy 83, with a clean cross-offshore breeze at 9 mph. That’s as good as it gets. Afternoon turns choppy.
From Sunday the 9th onward, it’s flat or nearly flat. Swell heights under 2 ft, periods short, energy in the single digits. A few mornings are glassy—like the 11th, 12th, 13th, 15th, and 17th—but there’s no swell. The 13th afternoon has a clean offshore wind at 9 mph from the WNW, but the swell is only 3 ft from the S, period 5 seconds, energy 52—still poor.
The only real option is Saturday morning, August 8th, for a tiny, clean wave. If you’re determined, you might get a few small rollers on a glassy morning, but that’s it. Kite surfers might have more fun on the windier, choppier days.
Hang in there, mate. The swell will come back.
