Updates in  hr  min  s Forecast update imminent

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at 10th Street (Avalon). I’ve looked over the numbers for the next couple of weeks, and honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch. There are no real swells to get excited about, and the forecast has a long, flat run with only small pulses of weak energy.

The outlook starts on Thursday, July 2nd, with a 3ft south swell, but the period is short at 5 seconds and the wind is a cross-onshore from the SSW at 12 mph, making for choppy, poor conditions. The combined energy is weak at 74. Water temp is sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

Friday the 3rd drops off quickly. The swell fades to 1ft from the southeast, but early morning has a light cross-offshore breeze from the WSW, so it’s clean. Still, that tiny 1ft with a 9-second period doesn’t offer much to ride. Saturday the 4th morning is glassy with a NW breeze at 3 mph and that same 1ft SE swell. It’s pretty, but there’s nothing to surf.

From there, the whole stretch from Sunday the 5th through to around Wednesday the 8th is a mess of tiny 1ft swell, onshore or cross-onshore winds, and periods of 8 to 9 seconds. The combined energy is in the teens to low 30s. Nothing worth paddling out for.

Wednesday the 8th afternoon sees a bump from the ENE with a 5ft swell, but the period is only 6 seconds – short-period wind swell. That’s a bit of a closeout machine, especially with the cross-onshore wind. Combined energy hits 135, which is moderate, but it’s not the kind of wave that’s fun to ride.

The rest of the first week and into the second week is the same story: tiny 1ft to 1ft south swells, mostly onshore or cross-shore wind, and combined energy barely cracking 30. There’s a moment on Friday the 17th where a 2ft to 3ft south swell shows up with a cleaner cross-offshore wind, but the period is only 5 seconds, so it’s weak and disorganized.

There is no standout in this forecast. Nothing even close. For the entire 16-day window, this is a blank run. 10th Street is an inconsistent spot, and this stretch fits that pattern perfectly. If you want to get wet, you’re better off waiting for a proper groundswell or a change in the forecast. The conditions here are more suited for a longboard in knee-high dribble, and even then, only on the cleanest mornings. If the wind stays strong and the swell stays weak and short-period, it’s honestly a better setup for a kite than a paddle.

Rusty.
