The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. For the next 16 days around 10th Street (Avalon), it’s looking pretty flat and uninspiring. The water is sitting at about 75°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s the only bright spot.
The first real chance to paddle out comes on Saturday, July 18th, in the morning. There’s a 4ft swell from the south, but it’s got a short period of 5 seconds, and the energy is weak. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the west-northwest, so it’ll be clean. But it’s just surfable, nothing special, and the break is inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting.
Then we hit a long gap. From July 19th right through to the morning of July 23rd, it’s flat or nearly flat. The 23rd shows a tiny 2ft glassy swell from the southeast, but it’s still weak – a clean window, but too small to get excited about.
On July 24th Friday afternoon, there’s a bit more size, with a 3ft swell from the east-southeast, and the energy picks up to moderate. The wind is gentle and cross-shore, so it’s a slight improvement. Still, the break is a beach/jetty setup and inconsistent, so it’s not a classic.
The 27th of July Monday afternoon brings the biggest swell of the period, 5ft from the south-southeast, but it’s short period and the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 22 mph. That’s lumpy and messy – honestly, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The energy is strong, but the quality is poor.
There’s a cleaner stretch on the 28th and 29th with offshore winds, but the swell drops back to 2ft to 4ft, and the energy is moderate. It’s clean, but still small and inconsistent.
No true standout sessions here. The best bet is the morning of July 18th for a clean, small wave, or the afternoon of July 24th for a bit more size. If you’re keen, you’ll get wet, but don’t expect much.
