Avalon Pier is seeing solid sets coming in from the east-southeast with swell building nicely toward ideal size. The surf shapes up well thanks to waves hitting the beach break in that clean summer direction, though the moderate southerly wind brings a fair sideshore effect. Tide is dropping around a low point but still good for waves to hold and form with a decent score. Shows of rain and thunderstorms around shouldn't impact the surf quality much right now, so it’s shaping up as a session worth catching.
