Alright folks, Rusty here. I've gotta be straight with you—this 16-day stretch for the Avalon area is about as quiet as I've seen. There are no good surf options in the entire window, so don't bother waxing up just yet.

Right now through to July 12th, the swell is tiny—mostly around 1ft to 2ft from the southeast, with weak combined energy readings often in the teens and twenties (between 16 and 78). Winds are a mixed bag, some mornings glassy like Sunday the 5th, but the waves are just too small to do anything with. Even on the rare occasions when conditions are clean, it's pretty much a flat spell.

There's a big gap of over a week with no real recommendations—just small, poor surf that's not worth paddling out for. The first slight blip comes on Monday, July 13th, when we see a bit more size: 4ft from the east early on, with clean offshore NW winds. But it's a short-period swell (6 seconds) with weak energy (97) and the wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions"—not a standout by any means. That afternoon gets blown out with cross-shore winds.

After that, it's back to small junk through the middle of the month. By Friday, July 17th, the swell bumps up again—4ft to 6ft from the south in the afternoon, but those 30 km/h cross-onshore winds create lumpy, messy conditions, and the combined energy reads 252 (moderate), but it's just not clean for surfing. That setup might look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Honestly, this is one of those blank runs that's more normal for the area. Forecasts can change, but for now, keep the board in the shed. I'll be watching for any shift.

Rusty.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for 10th Street (Avalon) may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
