The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here with a look at Corona del Mar Jetty. I’ll level with ya: it’s a slow start. Nothing worth paddling out for until Friday, August 14th. Before that, we’re stuck with a string of days where the swell is tiny, the wind is all wrong, and the surf is just plain poor. The water temp is nothing special, about average for the time of year.
Then on Friday the 14th, we get a little pulse. A long-period groundswell from the SSW – about 2ft in the morning, building to around 2ft by the afternoon. The period is running long, 18 to 19 seconds (combined energy around 403 to 506). The wind goes light cross-offshore, which will clean the lines right up. That’s the best we’re gonna see across the whole 16-day stretch. Keep in mind, with that long period and a breakwater setup, the waves might be a bit straight and not as user-friendly as a point break or reef. Still, it’s the standout. Expect some company because when it’s the only clean option, everybody knows.
Saturday the 15th sees a bump in size to about 4ft from the SW, but the wind turns light cross-onshore. The surf quality drops to marginal, and the combined energy climbs (623), but it’s just not as clean as Friday.
From Sunday the 16th onward, the swell slowly fades, and we’re back to small, junk surf with cross-breezes. No real recommendation from Monday the 17th all the way through to Monday the 24th – just a long, flat gap.
So if you’ve got any flex in your schedule, make a plan for Friday, August 14th. That’s the one day that might deliver a little magic. After that, we’re waiting on the next system.
