The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here again, lookin’ at Corona Del Mar Jetty.
Honestly, it’s a tough start. The first several days are a total bummer. There’s some swell energy – moderate to strong with readings like 518 on Thursday morning and up to 798 on Saturday – but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave reports say it’s poor or marginal. That Thursday morning has 3ft south swell, 12-second period, and a light offshore breeze, but the quality call is “questionable.” The water is runnin’ warm, 73°, which is 6° above normal – very unusual, so you’ll be in boardshorts or a springy.
We’ve got a long dry spell from Thursday, August 27th, all the way through to Saturday, September 5th. Nothing worth paddling for. Swell sizes bounce between 2ft and 4ft from the south and SSW, but the wind never falls into place. A few cross-shore moments pop up around Monday, September 1st, but it’s still marginal. This stretch is a snoozer.
The one true standout is Monday, September 7th. That morning goes glassy – wind from the SSE at just 3 mph, and a clean 3ft SSW swell with a 15-second period on it. That’s groundswell, and with glassy conditions, the surface will be smooth as butter. Energy is moderate (291), but the quality is there. The direction (SSW) is bang-on for this break. The afternoon even cleans up with a light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE. Mark that date. It’s a long way out, but that’s your window.
Wednesday, September 9th has another clean morning with cross-offshore wind, but the swell is a smaller 2ft from the SSW. After that, it fades into small, mediocre surf for the rest of the run.
So, if you’ve got patience, Monday the 7th is the session. Crowds are often here, so expect a few heads in the water, but with just one good day, it might be worth the wait. The rest? Leave the board on the roof.
Rusty.
