The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this 16-day window for 10th Street (Avalon) is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a run of poor surf conditions that stretches all the way from the start through to the end of the outlook. The first suggestion of any rideable waves doesn’t pop up until Wednesday morning, the 29th of July, and even then it’s a minor blip.
The overall pattern is flat and wind-affected. The only real stand-out, if you can call it that, is Wednesday morning, the 29th of July. The swell is a tiny 3 ft out of the SE, with a short period of 7 seconds, and combined energy is weak at 77. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is about average for the time of year. The good news is we’ve got a clean offshore wind from the WNW at 12 mph, so the surface will be smooth. But let’s be real—this is “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and only a 1 out of 10. It’s inconsistent here, so you’d have to be patient and keep your expectations low.
After that, it’s back to a long, flat gap. From Wednesday afternoon through to the end of the outlook on Tuesday, the 11th of August, there’s nothing but tiny, poor surf with energy readings in the single digits or low tens. The wind switches around a lot, but it’s mostly cross-on or onshore, and the swell stays under 2 ft. We get a few glassy moments on Monday the 3rd of August morning and again on Monday the 10th of August afternoon, but with barely 0.7 ft and 2 ft of swell, there’s nothing to ride. The whole stretch is a write-off for paddle surfing.
It’s a pretty blank run for this area, and that’s not unusual given the inconsistency here. The forecast can change, but for now, I’d leave the board at home.
Rusty.
