The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's take a look at the 16-day window for the Avalon region. We've got a real slow start on our hands, with a long dry spell of no real surf on offer. The first few days are tiny, and the quality is a flat zero across the board. We're looking at a stretch from Wednesday, July 15th, all the way through to Saturday, July 18th, where the waves are just too small and messy to bother with. The energy in the water is basically nothing, with readings around 20 and 41 (weak) for the first day, and then even smaller. The wind is mostly cross-off or cross, but with no swell to work with, it's a waste.
Things finally start to show a pulse on Saturday afternoon, July 18th. We get a bump in size to 4ft from the South, and the wind swings offshore from the WNW. The energy is still low at 72 (weak), but it's a window. The conditions are clean, but the waves are ordinary. It's a "maybe" for the most dedicated.
Then we hit another massive gap. From Sunday, July 19th, through to Wednesday, July 23rd, the swell drops right back to tiny 0.3ft to 2ft of slop with poor energy. It's a bleak stretch, with no real recommendations.
The most interesting window is the final weekend. On Friday, July 24th, the swell picks up to 5ft from the ENE. The energy finally shows some life at 215 (moderate). The problem is the wind is cross-on, so it's going to be choppy and not clean. The wave comment is still "poor surf conditions" and the score is a zero, so don't get too excited. The swell period is a short 6 seconds, so it's going to be a mushy, jumbled mess.
The standout, if you can call it that, is the afternoon of Saturday, July 25th. The swell holds at 4ft from the SE, and the wind swings to a cross-off from the W at 12 mph. The energy is 181 (moderate), and the conditions are clean. For a break that's inconsistent and in a fairly exposed spot, this is the best we're going to get. It's a very ordinary window, but if you're desperate, that's the time to go.
All in all, it's a tough 16 days for 10th Street (Avalon). A lot of waiting for very little payoff.
