The Lowdown
Alright, let’s take a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. It’s a pretty quiet stretch overall for Corona Del Mar Jetty.
Right now, to be straight with you, there’s nothing really rideable for the first couple of days. The water’s sitting at 72°, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing pumping. The surf is tiny and messy.
We start seeing a glimmer of something not totally hopeless on Friday, 14 August. The swell is tiny from the SSW, maybe 2ft to 2ft, but it’s a very long period groundswell at 18 to 19 seconds. That kind of period gives the waves some shape, but for a beach break setup, it can also make them close out. It’s just marginal, with cross-shore winds that are okay but not glassy.
Saturday the 15th is probably the best we’ve got in the whole outlook, though I’m not calling it a standout by any stretch. The morning shows a clean, clear sky with a light 6 mph cross-shore wind. The swell is a bit better, pushing up to around 3ft by the afternoon, still from the SSW. The combined energy (563) is moderate, so there’s a bit of push. It’s going to be small and weak overall, but with those light winds, it might be the most user-friendly session for a longboard. If you’re a beginner, this is your window—nothing is over 5ft, so you’re safe.
After that, it trails off quickly. Sunday the 16th is similar but the wind strengthens, putting a chop on it. From Monday the 17th all the way through to Sunday the 24th, it’s a long flat spell. The swell drops to 1ft to 2ft most days, with light cross-shore breezes that keep it clean but tiny. It’s not worth the paddle for most of us.
The very end of the run, around Tuesday the 25th, shows a slight bump back up to 2ft with a *cross-offshore* wind from the WNW. That will clean things up nicely, but it’s still small. By Wednesday the 26th, there’s another little rise to 3ft and light winds. The direction is SSW, which is spot on for this spot, but the size just isn’t there.
Honestly, there’s no big swell on the cards. No one session is going to have you calling in sick for work. If you’re desperate, the best chance for a few fun little waves is Saturday the 15th. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.
Stay wet, Rusty.
