The Lowdown
Howdy, Rusty here. Let’s not sugarcoat it: 10th Street (Avalon) is looking grim for the next two weeks. This beach-and-jetty spot is inconsistent at the best of times, and right now the wave energy is flat as a pancake. Water temp is about average for July.
We’re in a long, slow stretch right from the start. Through the middle of July, the swell is tiny—0.3 ft to 1 ft, mostly from the SE, with short periods and combined swell energy barely reaching 40. Winds are cross-off or cross-on, but the waves are just too small to ride. Even on Monday 20 July, when it goes dead calm and glassy, there’s only 0.3 ft of swell with zero push.
The big news hits Thursday 23 July: a 8 ft to 8 ft ENE pulse arrives, with period around 7-8 seconds and combined energy jumping to strong (517) and very strong (644). That’s serious size for this break. But the wind is screaming cross or cross-onshore from the south at 16-19 mph, leaving the surface lumpy and choppy. The wave quality is poor. For experts only, and honestly, with that wind and the beach break setup, it looks way better for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Not the kind of standout you want.
After that, it settles back into small, choppy mush. Friday morning 24 July has 3 ft ENE swell with a light cross-off breeze and clean conditions, but energy is moderate (134) and period short. Saturday morning 25 July brings 6 ft SSE swell, but again short period (6 seconds), cross-shore wind, and poor quality. By the last few days of July, we see 3-4 ft SE swell, but the wind stays cross or fresh cross-onshore, keeping things messy.
Your best shot might be Friday morning 24 July—3 ft ENE, light wind, clean, and the swell direction (ENE) is close to the optimum NE. The combined energy is moderate (134), not enough to get the pulse racing. If you’re really keen, that’s the one to check, low expectations.
Otherwise, it’s a bleak 16 days for a spot that’s rarely breaking well. The blank run is pretty normal for the area, so don’t get your hopes up. Forecasts can always flip, but right now, I’d find something else to do.
