The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at the Corona Del Mar Jetty in terms you can feel. We're in for a pretty quiet couple of weeks.
That water temp is 73°, which is about 7° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a massive anomaly, feels like a hot tub. But that’s where the good news pretty much stops for a while. The first week is mostly a washout. We've got tiny waves, mostly 2ft to 3ft out of the SSW, but the wind is almost always ruining it with cross-onshore or cross breezes. The combined swell energy sits in the moderate range (178 to 516), but it’s just not clean.
You’ll see "poor surf conditions" chalked up for most of the period. There's a tiny window on Monday, August 18th, with a bit of a light onshore wind and a 2ft SSW swell that’s marginally rated, but I wouldn’t paddle out for it.
The one to circle on your calendar is Monday, August 24th. It’s still small at about 2ft from the SW, but we’ve got a very light cross-onshore breeze (3 mph) and a long period of 18 seconds. That groundswell will give the waves some shape, but the energy is only moderate (294). It’s the cleanest we’ll see across the whole 16 days. That long period will mean bigger gaps between sets, so it’ll be easier to get outside, but at this jetty, the swell might run a bit straight. It’s a marginal pick, but it’s the pick.
Don’t hold your breath for much else. This spot is fairly consistent, so a run this quiet is a little unusual, but the outlook can always shift.
Keep your chin up.
