Alright, let’s get this straight right off the bat – for 10th Street in Avalon, it’s a tough run ahead. This is a beach and jetty setup, pretty exposed but it’s only catching scraps. The entire 16-day window is rated as poor conditions, so you’re looking at a long dry spell with barely a whisper of a wave.

The water temp right now is about average for the time of year, nothing notable there. But the swell energy is weak across the board – you’re looking at combined energy values mostly in the teens to low 60s (weak energy). That means small, gutless stuff.

You’ve got a few mornings with clean conditions, like the morning of 7 July with light offshore cross-off wind from the west and a tiny 2ft swell out of the ENE at a short, choppy 6 seconds. That’s not really surfable for a decent ride. Even the rare days with the strongest combined energy, like the Sunday afternoon of 12 July with 3ft from the east at a period of 5 seconds (58 combined energy), comes with moderate cross-off wind – so it’s clean but tiny and weak. Tuesday morning of 14 July has a glassy moment but again, only 2ft of east swell.

The only hint of any different period comes right at the tail end, on 19 July, with a 0.3ft SE swell sporting a 13-second period – that’s a long period groundswell, but the height is laughable and the energy is only 7, so it won’t break properly. For a beach break like this, that long period would just straighten out.

Honestly, nothing stands out as a go. The combined swell energy never reaches moderate levels, the swell heights barely hit 3ft once, and that’s on 16 July with a 3ft NE swell at a period of 5 seconds – poor quality, cross-shore wind, and risk of thunderstorms. For a beginner or intermediate, there’s nothing to paddle for. For experts, there’s nothing to get excited about either.

If you’re into kites, maybe the windier afternoons like 4 July and 9 July with 19 mph cross-onshore winds could be something, but for a surfer, this is a blank 16-day stretch.

Rusty.
