The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be real: this outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one for 10th Street (Avalon). It’s a beach and jetty setup that’s inconsistent, and the swell window is just not cooperating. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, messy, or just plain poor surf.

The water is sitting at 25° which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing going for it.

We start with nothing. Tuesday the 21st is a write-off with a weak 3ft SSE swell (55 combined energy) and a cross-shore wind making it choppy. Wednesday and Thursday the 22nd and 23rd are flat, with a tiny bump of 4ft on Thursday morning from the NE, but that’s with a cross-shore wind and short period, so it’s not worth paddling out for.

Friday the 24th through to the end of the month is a real bummer. We see tiny, weak swells – 2ft to 3ft – with periods under 8 seconds and mostly onshore or cross-shore winds. The combined energy barely cracks 100 on a good day. It’s a long, dry spell.

Then we hit the start of August. Saturday the 1st is flat. Sunday the 2nd is flat. Finally, on Monday morning the 3rd, we get a tiny glimmer. A 3ft SE swell (84 combined energy) rolls in with a glassy wind. The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s the best we’re going to get. It’s small, the period is 8 seconds, and it’s at a beach break, so don’t expect much shape. But hey, it’s clean, and if you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your window.

The rest of the forecast is flat or tiny and messy. There simply isn’t a standout session in the whole 16 days. The setup looks more interesting for a kite than a surfboard on most of these days.

Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, and don’t rush out for these scraps.

Rusty.
