The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this forecast is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell for the next 16 days with barely anything to get excited about.
The only spot in the mix is 10th Street (Avalon), a beach/jetty setup that’s inconsistent and rarely offers much. Right now, there’s a very weak, small swell from the SE with a period of 12 seconds, but the wave height is only 0.3ft and the combined energy is a paltry 8. It’s basically flat. The wind is light and cross-onshore, so it’s not even clean. Water temps are sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The next few days aren’t much better. On Tuesday 21st July, we get a bump in swell to 4ft from the SSE, but it’s short-period (6 seconds) and the wind is a strong cross-onshore at 16 mph. Combined energy hits 106 (moderate), but the conditions are choppy and lumpy. Not great for a paddle.
We see a brief window of clean glass on Thursday 23rd July afternoon, with a small 2ft SE swell and 8-second period, but the energy is only 56. Still, glassy conditions are rare, so that’s a small highlight.
From Friday 24th through to the end of the month, it’s a mix of tiny swells (0.7ft to 3ft) with poor wind directions—cross-shore, cross-onshore, onshore. The combined energy stays low, mostly between 9 and 176. Nothing stands out. The swell is too small and the conditions are messy.
By the start of August, we’re looking at flat spells again. Tuesday 4th August afternoon has a clean offshore wind (NW at 16 mph), but there’s zero swell. It’s a good day for a paddle or a kite, but not for surfing.
Bottom line: There are no real standouts here. The best you’ll get is the glassy window on Thursday 23rd July afternoon, with tiny 2ft waves. For the rest of the 16 days, it’s mostly flat or choppy. This area tends to have blank runs like this, so don’t get too down—forecasts can change, but for now, keep your board in the car and your expectations low.
Rusty.
