The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down.
We’re talking Corona Del Mar Jetty (Newport Beach). The water’s at 73°F, which is about 6°F warmer than normal - that’s a big anomaly, feels like a warm bath.
Honestly, the next 16 days are pretty flat and uninspiring. From the end of August into early September, we’re looking at small waves - 2 to 4 feet max - with mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. The combined energy readings are weak to moderate, topping out around 717 early on, but the wind kills it.
The only real standout is Wednesday afternoon, September 1st. We’ve got a 3-foot S swell at 11 seconds, and the wind swings to a clean cross-offshore from the WNW at 12 mph. That’s the cleanest we’ll see, with combined energy at 293. It’s not huge, but it’ll be the most rideable.
After that, it’s small and messy. There’s a little pulse on Wednesday morning, September 9th - a 3-foot SW swell at 18 seconds, combined energy of 601 - but the wind is cross-onshore and the conditions are poor. That long-period groundswell will probably be tough at a breakwater spot.
For beginners, the small stuff early on might be okay for a float, but don’t expect much. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game until that September 1st window.
