The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for this spot.
First off, I’ve gotta be honest with you – the next couple of weeks at 10th Street (Avalon) are looking pretty grim. We’re staring down a long, dry spell with next to nothing on offer. The forecast shows a stretch of poor surf conditions with scores of zero that just keep rolling on. From Wednesday the 22nd right through to the end of July, it’s pretty much a flat, blown-out mess. We’ve got weak swell energy, with numbers barely climbing past 143 (moderate) on the 24th afternoon, but the wind is all cross or cross-onshore, chopping it up. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and what little there is has short periods of 4 to 6 seconds – no power, no shape.
There’s a gap of several days with no real hope. The first sign of anything surfable doesn’t pop up until Thursday morning, July 30th. That’s a full week of waiting. Still, we’ve got a little pulse of 5 ft swell from the south with a short 5-second period, but the wind is offshore from the northwest. That’s clean, glassy morning conditions. The combined energy is only 83 (weak), so it’s not going to be a ripper, but it’s better than nothing. That morning is the only standout in the whole run – a brief window where the wind is right and the swell is just big enough to make it worth a paddle. The water temp is sitting at 76°, which is about 2° warmer than the norm for this time of year, so it’s a touch above average – feels nice.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The rest of the first week of August shows nothing but tiny, weak waves – 0.3 ft to 2 ft – with short periods and mostly cross or onshore wind. The combined energy stays below 54 (weak). Don’t bother getting the wetsuit wet for that.
Given the lack of any consistent swell or decent wind, there’s just not much to get excited about here. The surf setup is a beach/jetty, and with the weak, short-period swell and messy wind, it’s honestly looking more interesting for a kite session than a paddle. But for the surfer, that Thursday morning, July 30th, is your one shot. Set the alarm.
