The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days around here are a real flat spell. The only break that's even on the radar is 10th Street (Avalon), and it's a bit of a tease. The forecast shows nothing but "poor surf conditions" across the board, so I'm not gonna sugarcoat it.
The water's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 76° when I first look at it, nothing to get excited about though with the lack of waves.
Right now, on Friday the 17th, it's glassy as a mirror with a tiny 0.7ft swell from the ESE. That's not enough to move a cork. The combined energy is just 7 – yeah, that's weak. We're looking at a solid run of nothing for days. The whole weekend and into next week, it's a saga of tiny scraps and onshore junk. Saturday arvo on the 18th sees a bit of a spike to 5ft, but it's a short-period, wind-affected thing from the S with a period of 5 seconds, and the energy is still only 131. That's messy, not surfable.
The only decent window of clean conditions comes on Sunday the 19th, with gentle offshore winds from the NW, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3ft at a 13-second period. It's clean, but there's no wave. A few days of cross-offshore and clean conditions pop up around the 22nd and 23rd, but again, zero swell. The crowd factor is "sometimes" here, but honestly, you won't see a soul in the water.
The long-range looks just as bleak. Into the last week of July and the start of August, we're still stuck with small, weak swell from the SE and E. The biggest combined energy I see is 99 on the 26th, which is still weak. The break is inconsistent at the best of times, and this run is a classic for the area. We're looking at a gap of over a week with no real recommendations. For a better wave, you'd need to travel. Kite surfers might get a look in if the wind picks up and there's a bit of bump, but for paddle surfing, it's a write-off.
Signing off, Rusty.
