The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s be straight with you. This is a tough stretch ahead for wave hunters around here. There’s not a single top-notch day in the next two and a half weeks, so you’ll need to keep your expectations low.
The water temperature at Corona Del Mar Jetty is sitting at 73°F right now, which is a solid 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a big anomaly – the ocean feels like a bathtub.
We’re looking at small, weak swell practically the whole time. The biggest bump in wave energy comes late on Friday, August 14, with a combined energy of 513 – still only moderate – and a swell height of just 2 ft from the SSW, with a period of 18 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, which can offer some shape, but with a light cross-shore breeze, it’s only marginal at best. The tide might be a factor too.
The same pattern drags on through the weekend. Saturday morning, August 15, sees 3 ft SSW swell with the energy at 460, and light cross-shore wind. Still just a marginal setup. But here’s the thing: the swell is small, the wind is mostly light, and the break is a breakwater setup. It’s not going to fire, but it’s the only window where you might get a few rideable peaks.
Monday morning, August 10, to Tuesday, August 11, there’s basically nothing – flat, poor conditions. From Wednesday, August 12, through Thursday, August 13, it’s the same small, messy stuff. Then Friday, August 14, into Saturday, August 15, we get that tiny uptick I mentioned. After that, from Sunday, August 16, onward, it’s back to small, poor surf with only occasional marginal moments. The last week of the forecast – from August 21 to August 25 – is a real desert: tiny 1 ft to 2 ft swell, light cross-shore or onshore winds, and weak energy values down around 128 to 247. Don’t get your hopes up.
If you’re desperate, the best (and really only) shot is Friday afternoon, August 14, or Saturday morning, August 15, at Corona Del Mar Jetty. 2 ft to 3 ft from the SSW, with a long period, light cross-shore wind, and moderate energy. It’s nothing to write home about, but it’s the least poor option in a very poor run.
