The Lowdown
Alright, reckon it’s time to have a look at what’s cookin’ for our little stretch here. Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with ya – it’s gonna be a long, quiet stretch before we see anything worth paddling out for. This is gonna test your patience.
We’re starting off with 10th Street (Avalon), and for the next couple of weeks, it’s mostly a whole lot of nothin’. The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, nothing wild there. But the surf? Barely a whisper. From today, Sunday the 19th of July, right through to the end of the month, we’ve got a massive gap. Tiny, gutless waves with not enough energy to push a floaty. Most days have wave energy readings down in the single or low double digits (7 to 78), which is just pathetic. The wind is often cross or onshore, chopping up the few dribbles that show. There’s a brief pulse of moderate energy (123) on Saturday the 25th, but with a messy cross-shore wind and a short period of 8 seconds, it’s still a write-off – poor surf conditions all the way. Even the offshore winds we get mid-week on the 22nd and 23rd can’t find any swell to groom. This is a proper blank run, and for a spot that’s already inconsistent, this run of zero-score days is pretty much par for the course around here.
Alright, now here’s the one glimmer of hope, and it’s a long way off. On Monday the 3rd of August, we finally see something change. Early morning, the wind goes glassy – dead calm, 3 mph – and the water will be like a mirror. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the ENE, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s gonna be a bit soft and fat. The combined energy ticks over to 108 (moderate energy), which is the best we’ve seen in weeks. The official call is just “ordinary,” but that glassy morning window is your only shot. It won’t be a classic, but it’ll be the cleanest, most surfable wave on offer. If you’re desperate, that’s your Monday morning mission. Don’t expect a crowd – nobody else will be holding out hope after this drought. For the experts, there’s nothing here. For beginners, the biggest swell is just under 5 ft, but the quality is so poor it’s not worth the drive.
So, in short: a whole lot of flat and poor conditions, then one morning of clean but mediocre waves. That’s the hand we’ve been dealt.
Rusty.
