The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s get into it. The whole 16-day window is a pretty quiet one for 10th Street (Avalon). We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak slop with very few moments where it all comes together. Don’t expect any hero sessions here.
The run starts on Thursday the 23rd of July. It’s underwhelming, with a 2ft NE swell pushing in with a short, weak 4-second period. The combined energy is a measly 27 (weak energy). The wind is a cross-off in the morning, keeping it clean, but the swell is just too small and weak to get excited about.
Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th see a tiny bump up to around 4ft, but the wind is a mess. We’re looking at moderate cross-shore and cross-onshore breezes, turning the surface into a chop-fest. The swell period is still a pathetic 4 to 6 seconds, so it’s just a bumpy, gutless mess.
Finally, there’s a glimmer on Sunday the 26th of July. The morning brings a glassy, clean surface with the wind dropping to nothing. The swell is a tiny 2ft from the SE, but the period is a slightly better 8 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 78 (weak energy). The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” For this stretch, that’s the best we’ve got. It’s a window for a longboard or a foamie, but don’t kid yourself.
After that, it’s a long, dry slog. From Sunday afternoon all the way through to Friday the 7th of August, the forecast is a relentless string of “poor surf conditions.” Swell heights stay under 3ft, the periods are short, and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-shore. The water temperature anomaly is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The standout, if you can call it that, is Sunday morning, the 26th of July. The glassy conditions make it the only real chance for a clean wave, even if it’s small. The 10th Street jetty (Avalon) is inconsistent at the best of times, and this period is a textbook example of that. It’s a tough run. Keep an eye on the charts, because it doesn’t tend to stay this flat for long.
