The Lowdown
Alright, surfers. Rusty here. Let's be straight with you, this is a tough one for 10th Street in Avalon. We're looking at a long, dry spell with nothing really worth paddling out for.
The water's sitting at 77° right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only thing going for us.
The whole 16-day window is basically a no-go. We've got a few pulses of swell, but they're weak, short-period, and the wind is almost always working against us. The best of a bad bunch is the morning of Thursday, July 23rd, with a clean, offshore wind from the NW at 12 mph, and maybe a 3 ft swell from the NE. But it's a weak swell, only 5-second period, and the energy is low (52). It's just not gonna have any punch. The afternoon of Tuesday, July 28th, also sees clean, offshore wind from the WNW, but again, it's a small, weak 3 ft ENE swell.
Honestly, for most of the run, the combined energy is way below 100, often in the single digits. There's a slight bump on the afternoon of Sunday, July 26th, with a 5 ft S swell but the wind is cross-onshore and it's a short period, making it choppy and messy. The energy there is moderate (182), but the quality will be poor.
This is a spot that's inconsistent, and this forecast is a perfect example of why. It's a blank run. Don't expect any smiles in the water for a while. 10th Street is a beach/jetty setup, so when the surf is poor and the wind is up, it's more of a kite-surfing scene than a paddling one.
Stay patient, and maybe we'll get lucky with a change in the long-range.
Rusty.
