The Lowdown
Alright, let’s take a look at what’s cooking. For 10th Street (Avalon), it’s a slow start. For the first week and a half, you’re looking at tiny surf, barely a bump. Water temp is about 75°, pretty normal for this time of year, nothing special.
From Wednesday the 29th through to the end of the first week, we’re talking ankle-snappers: 0.7ft to 1ft out of the east, all with short periods. Offshore winds keep it clean, but there’s nothing to ride. Sunday the 2nd of August shows a little pulse – 3ft from the south – but cross-onshore winds mess it up. This stretch is a write-off.
Now, Monday the 10th of August finally brings some proper swell. A 5ft southeast groundswell with a 12-second period – that’s real energy, long lines. The combined energy reading is 699 (moderate to strong), but the wind comes cross-shore, so there’s some chop. This one is for experienced surfers only; anything over 5ft is pushing it for beginners.
The morning of Tuesday the 11th of August is the standout: 5ft from the southeast, period 11 seconds, and the wind is almost nothing – just 3 mph onshore. That’s glassy, clean, and the energy is still strong (477). Crowds? This spot is inconsistent and sometimes crowded, so you’ll likely have a few mates out, but not a circus. The swell direction matches the optimum northeast pretty well, so the break should work nicely.
After that, Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th fade to 4ft and 3ft, with offshore wind on the 13th morning cleaning things up, but it’s small again.
So the only real action is Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th of August – that southeast groundswell is your best bet. Tuesday morning is the pick for clean conditions. The rest of the 16 days? Mostly flat and forgettable.
