The Lowdown

Alright, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks around 10th Street (Avalon). I won’t sugarcoat it—this is one of those stretches where the ocean just isn’t giving us much to work with.

Right off the bat, from Tuesday, July 14th, right through the rest of the week, we’re lookin’ at tiny, weak swell. We’re talking 1ft to 1ft from the southeast, with periods around 9 seconds. Wind is mostly cross-off or cross, and while the water is a touch warmer than normal at 75°, that’s about the only thing worth mentioning. The combined energy is laughably low—hovering between 19 and 41 (weak energy). Honestly, it’s poor surf conditions across the board, no scores to speak of. You’d be better off waxing your board and staring at it on the sand.

Thursday July 16th morning goes glassy, but the swell drops to 0.7ft from the ESE with a period of just 8 seconds—combined energy at 12 (weak). That’s not surf, that’s a ripple. Friday July 17th morning is glassy again, but the swell is 0.3ft from the SE with a 15-second period—that long period on a beach/jetty setup like this just means it’ll break too straight and not offer much. Energy is 15 (weak). Poor.

Saturday July 18th afternoon is the first time we see a bump in size: 5ft from the south, with a combined energy of 148 (moderate). But the period is just 6 seconds—short period windswell, messy. Wind is cross-off, so it’s clean, but the conditions are still very ordinary. It’s surfable, but barely. Not a standout.

From Sunday July 19th through to Wednesday July 22nd, we’re back to tiny or zero swell. Energy drops to single digits or zero. A few offshore or glassy mornings, but with no swell to work with, it’s a flat spell. You’ll be sittin’ on the beach watchin’ the horizon.

Thursday July 23rd afternoon shows a little pulse: 3ft from the SE, period 7 seconds, combined energy 73 (still weak). Cross-on wind, so it’s choppy. Poor.

Friday July 24th and Saturday July 25th are similar—small, weak, onshore or cross-on. Not worth gettin’ wet for.

Now, Sunday July 26th into Monday July 27th—this is the pick of the entire 16 days, but it’s still nothin’ to write home about. On Sunday morning, we get 3ft from the SE at 8 seconds, combined energy 129 (moderate), with cross-off wind from the NNW—clean. Sunday afternoon, the wind goes offshore from the WNW, still 3ft SE, energy 132 (moderate). Monday morning July 27th is glassy with 3ft from the SE, energy 154 (moderate). That’s the best we’ll see—clean, glassy, or offshore, with a touch of energy. But it’s still small, and the break is inconsistent and rarely breaks well. For a confident surfer lookin’ for a slow, clean session, it’s the best on offer. But it’s not beginner-friendly—these waves are tiny, but the period is short enough to be weak.

The rest of the outlook into July 28th and 29th fades back to tiny, weak swell with poor conditions.

So, bottom line: there’s no true standout here. The end of July (26th-27th) is the best of a bad bunch. The gap between now and then is over a week of flat or near-flat surf. For a spot that’s inconsistent, this kind of blank run is pretty normal. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a tough stretch.
