Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be honest, this is a grim one. We’re looking at the next 16 days for 10th Street (Avalon), and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the cupboard is bare. There’s just nothing on the menu for a surfer.
The whole 16-day window kicks off on Friday, July 10th, and it’s a flat spell all the way through. We’re talking tiny, weak energy all day, with the combined energy never even cracking a hundred (peaking at a measly 76 on the afternoon of the 16th). The swell is all over the place, from ENE to S, but it’s all short-period junk, mostly under 8 seconds, and the heights are barely a ripple. The biggest wave we see all period is a pathetic 4 ft on Thursday afternoon, July 16th, but that’s with a 5-second period – that’s just wind slop, not a wave you can ride. The wind is almost always cross or cross-on, keeping things messy. The only glimmer of something clean is Thursday morning, July 16th, when it goes glassy, but with a 2 ft, 6-second swell from the S, it’s still useless.
After that, it just gets worse. From the 20th onward, we’re getting fresh winds cranking at 18-22 mph from the NE, and combined energy drops to single digits – basically a lake. By the 24th and 25th, there’s zero waves, zero energy. It’s a total blank.
Because of that, there’s just no break to highlight. The water temperature is sitting at 75°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice bath, but you’ll be floating in it, not surfing. For this area, a long run of nothing is unfortunately more normal than not. The forecasts can change, but right now, I’d say the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, if you’ve got the gear. Save your wax and wait for a better window.
Rusty.
