The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Avalon over the next couple of weeks.
To be brutally honest, it’s looking pretty grim for 10th Street (Avalon) for the vast majority of this sixteen-day run. We’re talking a stretch of flat-to-puny, messy surf with barely a pulse for days on end. There’s a long gap where you’d be wasting your time entirely: from now through the end of July and into the start of August, the wave comment is consistently “poor surf conditions” with energy readings often below 100, indicating weak, unorganised swell. The wind is either cross, cross-on, or a straight onshore mess more often than not. You’re looking at a lot of knee-to-waist high slop, if that.
The one and only tiny glimmer – and I mean *tiny* – comes on Sunday the 2nd of August. The morning shows a bit of a pulse from the SSW, pushing 4 ft of swell with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is sitting at 94, so still weak, but for the first time in ages the wind goes glassy. That’s the key here. The wave comment even says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – that’s about as good as it gets in this window. It’s not going to be a classic, but if you’re desperate for a paddle and some clean little dribblers, that Sunday dawn patrol is your only shot. Don’t expect much, because there isn’t much.
For the rest of the run, the swell direction stays mostly out of the east and southeast, which isn't the optimum NE for this break, and the period is generally short and weak. Water temperatures are about average for the time of year, nothing out of the ordinary there.
Honestly? This is a blank run. Don’t hold your breath. It tends not to stay this poor for long, but for now, park the boards and find something else to do.
