The Lowdown
Right, well I've had a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks and to be honest, it's pretty grim. We've got a long stretch of flat, windy, or just plain messy conditions ahead. There's almost no window for a proper surf. The swell energy is weak for days on end, and any small pulses get wrecked by the wind.
Let's start at 10th Street (Avalon). It's a beach and jetty setup, and it's no secret it needs all the stars to align. The water is sitting at 76°F at the start, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only positive.
Friday the 24th starts it off with a tiny 1ft swell from the SE, but a cross-onshore wind from the East at 12 mph has it choppy and useless. That pattern basically holds for days. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th see a tiny bump to 3ft or 4ft, but the wind is still all wrong – cross or cross-onshore. The combined energy is weak to moderate at best, but the quality is just poor.
We roll into the next week, and it’s more of the same. A few mornings on the 29th of July give us a clean surface with a light offshore breeze from the NW, but the swell is almost non-existent at 0.7ft or 1.0ft. Energy readings are down – just dire.
There’s a slight flicker on the morning of the 30th of July. We get a clean 4ft wave from the NE with a light NW offshore wind. The energy bumps up to moderate, but this is still only a "surfable but very ordinary" option. It’s just not doing anything exciting, and the period is a short 8 seconds. By the afternoon it’s already dropping.
After that, the taps almost turn off. From the 1st of August right through to the 8th, we’re looking at swells that barely scrape 2ft, and most of the time they’re less than 1ft. The winds are mostly onshore, cross-shore, or just not helping. There’s a morning on the 6th of August with a 5ft swell from the SSW and a clean cross-offshore wind, which sounds okay, but the period is a short 6 seconds so it would be a bit lumpy and fat. That’s probably the most size we’ll see, but it's still not a standout.
Honestly, there’s no true stand-out session across the whole two weeks. The conditions are just persistently average to poor. If you're desperate for a paddle, maybe the morning of the 30th of July or the 6th of August could offer a few crumbly ones, but don’t get your hopes up. This is a long, blank run for the area.
