Table - best surf conditions forecast for 10th Street (Avalon) over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you right off the bat. We’ve got a 16-day window ahead, and I’m looking at a real dry spell. There’s nothing in the charts that’s going to get us excited for a proper surf for a long stretch. The first real chance of anything worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until Sunday, July 19th, and even then, it’s a very ordinary situation.
The only spot with any action in the whole period is 10th Street (Avalon). It’s a beach and jetty setup, and it’s inconsistent here, so a blank run is more normal for this area. For the first six days, from Monday, July 13th through to Saturday, July 18th, the surf is poor. We’re looking at tiny, weak waves with combined energy readings barely cracking 60 (62 on Monday morning), and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore messing it up. Not worth a second look.
The one standout, and I mean the *only* one, is Sunday afternoon, July 19th. We finally get a pulse of swell from the south at 4ft. The period is a short 5 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit weak and crumbly, but the wind turns offshore from the northwest at 12 mph. That’s a huge plus—it’ll clean up the lines and make it rideable. The combined energy is still only moderate at 67. It’s surfable, but the conditions are very ordinary. If you’re desperate, that’s your window. For the rest of the 16 days, from July 20th onward, it’s right back to dribble—tiny swell, poor wind, and terrible energy. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 75°.
Bottom line: keep your expectations on the floor. There’s one small, clean window on the 19th for the absolute die-hards, but otherwise, it’s a long wait.
Rusty.
