The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and not much push behind it. You’re gonna want to keep the board in the car for a while, because we’re looking at a whole lot of knee-high dribble.
The first real window of anything worth mentioning starts around August 20th. Before that, from the 9th through the 19th, it’s a desert. The swell stays under 2ft, with periods mostly in that short, weak 5-8 second range. The energy is just pathetic. The winds are mostly cross or light offshore, but with no waves, it doesn't matter. There’s a funky SE groundswell trying to show up around the 19th with a 15 second period, but it’s still only 1-1ft, so it’s not going to do much at the beach breaks.
Now, for Avalon 15th Street (Torrance), the first day that has any real potential is Thursday, August 20th. There’s a pulse of SE swell mixing in, pushing the surf up to about 2ft with an 11 second period. That’s still small, but the energy finally climbs to 97, which is at least moderate. The morning wind is a cross-off at 25 km/h, which will keep things clean. It’s not a day to get excited about, but it’s the first sign of life.
The real standout, the only one I’d really circle, is Saturday, August 22nd. The swell drops a touch to 1ft, but the period is a clean 8 seconds, and the energy is back up to 41. The morning is looking magic with a light NNW breeze at 5 km/h, almost glassy. That’s about as good as it’s going to get. The afternoon builds a little to 2ft from the S, but the period drops to 4 seconds, which is just windswell junk. So, Saturday morning is the pick.
After that, the 23rd gets blown out with a fresh cross-onshore wind at 30 km/h and lumpy conditions. The 24th has a bit more size at 2ft from the ENE, but it’s still small and weak.
Water temp is around average for this time of year, so nothing weird there. For a beginner, honestly, most of this is fine, but for anyone looking for a real wave, it’s a tough stretch. The spot is fairly exposed, but with this little swell, it’s just not doing much. Keep your expectations low, and you might find a fun one on Saturday morning.
