The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, same story, different numbers. The next 16 days are a real drought for 10th Street (Avalon). Not much to work with. The whole period is one long stretch of tiny, weak, and mostly messy conditions. The first real recommendation for surf comes on Monday the 27th of July, and it’s a hard pass.
The first few days, from Monday the 27th through to Wednesday the 29th, the swell is tiny, topping out at 5.2 feet on Tuesday afternoon, but it’s coming from the south with a short, weak period of 5 to 6 seconds. The combined energy stays low, between 41 and 167, so it’s weak to moderate. The wind is a mess – cross-onshore, choppy, and Tuesday even has a risk of thunderstorms. The water temperature is 74.8°, which is about average for the time of year, with a small anomaly of 0.9°, so nothing unusual.
Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st offer a little relief with some clean, glassy conditions, especially Friday afternoon when the wind goes dead calm. But the swell is pathetic – 0.7 feet to 2.0 feet, all from the east or northeast, with periods of 5 to 6 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 2 to 25. You’re looking at flat, glassy water. Pretty, but nothing to ride.
Saturday the 1st of August stays tiny, with a 0.7-foot east-southeast swell and a 9-second period, but the wind goes glassy in the morning. By afternoon, it’s back to a gentle cross-onshore. Combined energy is just 15. The rest of the first week and into the second week is more of the same: tiny waves, onshore or cross-onshore winds, and consistent “poor surf conditions” across the board. The swell never gets above 3.9 feet, and that’s on Wednesday the 5th of August, but it’s a short-period 5-second south swell with choppy, cross-onshore wind. The combined energy for that is only 67, so weak.
There’s a glimmer of hope on Monday the 10th of August, with a glassy morning and a 0.7-foot east swell at 9 seconds, but it’s barely a ripple. Combined energy is 10. Not worth a trip.
Honestly, this is a blank run. The break is inconsistent, and with the swell being this small and the wind often messy, it’s not looking good for paddle surfing. If you’ve got a kite, you might find some fun on the stronger wind days, like Tuesday the 28th of July with 15.5 mph cross-onshore, but for a surfboard, you’re out of luck. The forecast can change, but right now, it’s a tough stretch. Hang tight.
