Table - best surf conditions forecast for 10th Street (Avalon) over the next 16 days.


Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s dig into this one.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at 10th Street (Avalon), and for the next couple of weeks, the surf is mostly a no-show. There’s a long stretch of flat, weak conditions with hardly anything to get excited about. The waves are small, the energy is low, and the wind is mostly in the way. It’s one of those runs where you’re better off doing something else, because the ocean’s just not giving us a look.

Starting Thursday morning, July 9th, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the ENE with a short 7-second period. The combined energy is a weak 65, and that cross-on southerly wind is making it choppy and messy. The water is a toasty 76°F – that’s 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year, which is notable, but it doesn’t help the surf. That afternoon, the wind picks up and it gets even worse. Friday, July 10th, the swell drops to 1ft, and while the wind is cleaner and cross-offshore, the energy is just a lazy 35. It’s small and weak. Saturday, July 11th, is even smaller – 0.7ft. That’s barely a ripple.

The next few days don’t get any better. Sunday through Tuesday, we see a tiny bump to 3ft, but the period is a dismal 5 to 7 seconds, and the wind is cross-shore or cross-on, keeping it lumpy and choppy. The energy is still in the weak range, around 56 to 74. There’s nothing to recommend here.

We hit a real low point on Wednesday, July 22nd. The morning brings a 5ft swell from the SE with an 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 311 (moderate), but it’s a total mess. The wind is a moderate cross-shore, creating a cross-chop that’s just ugly. This setup is far more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing – the waves are lumpy and the wind is all wrong. The afternoon stays poor.

Finally, on Thursday, July 23rd, we get a sliver of hope. The morning has a 3ft swell from the ESE with an 8-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore breeze. The energy is 81, still weak, but the conditions are clean. The forecast calls it “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s not a standout, but it’s the closest thing to a session we’re going to get. The break is inconsistent, so don’t expect much, but if you’re desperate, you might find a few ankle-biters.

After that, it’s back to flatness. Friday, July 24th, is choppy and small again. Overall, this is a blank run for the area. The surf is poor, the consistency is low, and the quality just isn’t there. Keep your gear waxed and your eyes on the charts – it tends not to stay this quiet for long.

Rusty.
