The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's cookin' for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this is one of those painful outlooks where the ocean just doesn't want to play ball. We've got a solid 16-day window ahead, but there's hardly a pulse in the water. The first half of the run is basically a write-off for any kind of decent paddle surfing, and the second week isn't shaping up to be much better. It's gonna be a long stretch of waiting it out.
The only break we've got on the radar is Avalon 15th Street. For the bulk of the forecast, from Thursday the 27th of August all the way through to the end of the first week of September, the swell is tiny. We're talking knee-to-waist high dribble at best, mostly around 1ft to 1ft from the ESE or SE. The period is short and weak most days, with combined wave energy hanging out in the pathetic range (10 to 49). There is a slight uptick on the 6th of September, with a moderate 4ft from the ENE, but the period is still weak at 6 seconds and the wind is ripping cross-onshore at 15 mph. That combo, combined with the beach break setup, makes it look way more interesting for kite surfing than for trying to get a paddle wave. The swell energy jumps to a moderate 124, but the conditions are just too lumpy to make it worthwhile.
There are a few windows of clean, glassy conditions – like Sunday the 30th of August morning with glassy winds, and the 11th of September with a light offshore breeze – but there's simply no swell to go with it. The water's sitting at a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, about 77°F, but that's not much comfort when there's nothing to ride.
So what's the best on offer? Honestly, there isn't a standout. It's a flat spell. The only slight glimmer is the morning of Sunday, 30th of August, if you're desperate for a flat, glassy paddle on a 1ft, 8-second SE slop. But even that’s a stretch. After that, we have another dry spell for days. This area just doesn't have the consistency to fire without some proper swell direction from the SE, and the wind is usually working against it. For now, the board stays in the car.
