The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and knots for ya. I gotta be straight – the outlook for Avalon is pretty bleak for the next week and a half. The only spot we got is 10th Street, and it’s an inconsistent break that needs a specific swell to work. For the first ten days, from Wednesday the 22nd through the end of July, the energy is just missing. We’re seein’ tiny, weak pulses with combined energy readings barely hittin’ triple digits (40 to 202), and the wind is mostly cross or cross-on, keeping the surface choppy and messy. There’s a pulse on the morning of the 31st of July that bumps up to 6ft from the SE (202 energy), but the period is a short 6 seconds and the wind is light cross, so it won’t be any kind of classic. Still, it’s the biggest lump we see.
The first real chance comes on Saturday the 1st of August. The morning brings a clean, offshore breeze from the WNW, with a 3ft swell from the ESE. The energy is weak at 91, but it’s surfable. The wind is light, so the surface will be clean. That’s your best bet. The next morning, Sunday the 2nd of August, the swell swings to the S with 4ft (85 energy), and the wind is light and cross-off from the N. That’s clean again, but the swell is short-period at 5 seconds, so it’ll be a bit weak and lumpy. Still, it’s the only two mornings in the whole 16-day run that look like they’re worth a look.
After that, from Monday the 3rd of August onward, it’s a total flat spell. The swell disappears completely – zero energy, and the wind turns onshore again. So, if you’re desperate, the morning of Saturday the 1st of August at 10th Street is your only real play. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
