Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next 16 days are a real struggle for 10th Street (Avalon). There’s not a single session that I’d call a good bet for a proper surf. The whole forecast period, from now through to the 22nd of July, is a long, flat spell. You’ll be waiting a long time between even the smallest of waves, and the ones that do show up are messy, weak, and blown out. It’s a tough run for this beach/jetty spot.
From Tuesday the 7th right through to the end of the window, the swell energy is weak. The best you’ll see is a brief peak on Wednesday morning the 8th, with a 4ft swell from the ENE, but it’s coming with a cross-onshore wind and only 160 units of combined energy (moderate). That’s not enough to get excited about. The swell period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s just wind-chop, not a groundswell with any shape. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
Most of the period is plagued by onshore or cross-shore winds, and the swell heights are tiny, often below 2ft. The wind state is often described as “poor surf conditions” across the board. There’s a few cleaner moments, like Friday the 10th and Monday the 13th, but the swell is so small (1.0ft to 1ft) it’s barely a ripple. One morning, Sunday the 19th, is glassy, but again, with a 1.0ft swell, it’s not surfable.
This is a blank run. The area is inconsistent for a reason, and this stretch proves it. Keep the board in the car, but don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend.
Rusty.
