The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on offer for the Avalon stretch.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window, it's a tough one. We've got a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about. The first real chance to even think about paddling out is on Wednesday, the 29th of July, but even then, it's a struggle.
Wednesday morning, the 29th, sees a tiny 3ft swell from the SE, with a period of 7 seconds. The wind is light and clean, coming from the W as a cross-offshore, so the surface will be smooth. But the energy is weak (92), and the waves are just surfable, not good. It's a session for the longboard or a finless foamie, with a bit of patience. The water is sitting at 75°, which is about average for this time of year.
After that, we slide into a deep, flat spell. From Thursday the 30th all the way through to the end of the first week of August, the swell drops to almost nothing. We're talking ankle-snappers at best, with energy readings in the single and low double digits. A few days have clean conditions, like Friday morning the 31st with a light offshore from the NNW, but there's simply no wave to ride.
The pattern finally tries to pick up a little around Monday the 3rd of August. The combined energy jumps to 370, which is a moderate pulse, with a 5ft SE swell. But the wind is a cross-onshore from the S, blowing at 9–16 mph, making it choppy and messy. The 9-second period gives it a little bit of shape, but the conditions are poor. Not worth getting wet for anything other than a frustrating paddle.
The rest of the window into the second week remains a write-off. The swell stays tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy is flat. There is no standout day, no hidden gem. The best option on offer, if you're desperate, is that Wednesday morning, 29th July, for a clean, knee-high idle. Otherwise, leave the boards in the car.
Rusty.
