The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll level with you – the next two weeks are a bit of a write-off for 10th Street (Avalon). This is a beach/jetty setup that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and we’ve got a long dry spell ahead. The first surfable day that even registers isn’t until the morning of Friday, July 31st, and even then, it’s barely a pulse.
The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is about normal for this time of year – nothing to get excited about there.
Let’s run through it. From now until the morning of July 31st, there’s nothing. Zilch. The swell is tiny, the winds are messy, and the combined energy of all swells sits in the weak zone (under 100). For example, Sunday afternoon the 26th has a 2ft SE swell, but with a short 8-second period and a cross-on wind, it’s just poor.
The first glimmer of anything comes on the morning of Friday, July 31st. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the ENE, with a period of 7 seconds – so it’s short-period windswell. The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNE at 9 mph, so the surface will be okay. The combined energy hits 199, which is still only moderate. It’s surfable, but the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” I’d call it a 1 out of 10 if I had to. It’s the best on offer, but that’s not saying much.
After that, it drops off again. The rest of the period through to August 10th is filled with tiny swells, onshore or cross-on winds, and combined energy that rarely cracks 50. The morning of August 10th has a 3ft SSW swell, but with a period of just 5 seconds – really short, weak stuff. The wind is glassy (SE 3 mph), which is a rare positive, but the swell is too small and weak to do anything with.
The bottom line: there are no standout days. The whole 16-day window is mostly gaps with no surf. For an inconsistent spot like this, a blank run is more normal than exciting. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most of those afternoons with moderate cross-onshore winds. Keep an eye on the Friday morning, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
