The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles per hour. Rusty here, and I’m looking at a pretty grim stretch for 10th Street (Avalon). The next two weeks are mostly flat and not worth the rubber.
We start with a long, quiet period. From Wednesday the 22nd right through the end of July, the swell is tiny. The combined energy of all swells directed here is basically zero (0), with only a few weak pulses of 35, 88, and 66. The wind is mostly cross-onshore, making a mess of the surface. It’s a beach/jetty, so with no swell and choppy wind, it’s just a swim.
The water is about 76°, which is normal for the season, so at least you won’t freeze while you wait for nothing.
The one faint glimmer is Monday the 27th afternoon. You’ll see a 4ft swell from the south, but it’s a terrible 4-second period. That’s just straight up bump on the water. The wind is light cross-shore, but the quality is still poor. Don’t get your hopes up.
We get a few glassy mornings on the 29th, 31st, and 1st August, but the swell is a pathetic 0.7ft. On the 29th, we have a 0.7ft glassy morning, which sounds nice, but it’s a long wait for a wave that isn’t coming.
There’s a slight bump around the 4th of August, with a 3ft S swell, but it’s a short 6-second period with cross-on winds. The combined energy is only 76, so it’s weak. It’s still a “poor surf conditions” call.
The takeaway: Don’t plan a session around this. 10th Street is inconsistent, and this 16-day window is a total dud. The first week is a washout, and the second week only offers small, weak, choppy waves. If you see a glassy morning with a tiny pulse, you might get a couple of knee-high rollers, but that’s the best I can offer. Stay patient.
Rusty.
