The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: it's looking flat and pretty grim out there for the next couple of weeks. The ocean’s got nothing for us, and we're staring down a long stretch of closeouts and ankle-biters.
The only real blip on the radar, and I mean the *only* one, is a short window on Saturday morning, the 8th. We might see a touch of life at 10th Street (Avalon). It’s not gonna be the day of the summer, but it’s the best we got. Swell is tiny at around 3ft, coming from the SSW, and the light WSW cross-off wind should keep things clean, which is a major positive in a stretch like this. The wave energy is weak, with a combined energy reading of 102, so it'll be soft and gutless but rideable. Expect it to be inconsistent, as this spot often is, and there'll likely be a few others out there. The water is a touch warmer than usual at 76°F, which is nice to have but not much comfort for the lack of waves.
From Saturday afternoon onwards, it just dies again. We're looking at a brutal run of days with next to nothing. The swell drops right back down to less than a foot for the next stretch. There are a few clean mornings with offshore winds on the 14th and 16th, but with zero swell, it’s just a glassy lake out there. A lot of days have some cross-shore or onshore breeze chopping up what little texture there is.
Looking further out, there’s a new, short-period south swell tryin’ to show up for the 19th and 20th, but it’s arriving with fresh onshore winds, which is typical – just making a mess of things. It’s a promise of something, but as it stands, keep your board in the car and your expectations low.
This is one of those blank runs that just happens sometimes. It’s not going to last forever. The forecasts can change, and the ocean always comes back around. But for now, there’s nothing here worth paddling out for.
Rusty.
