The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s look at what’s coming up for Corona Del Mar Jetty.
First up, we’re looking at a pretty quiet start to the window. The good news is the water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The bad news is that for the first week and a half, the surf is really struggling. We’ve got a long run of “marginal” and “poor” conditions from Tuesday the 21st of July right through to the end of the month. The swell is small, mostly under 3 ft, and the wind is constantly cross or cross-on, which is going to keep things messy. The combined wave energy is mostly in the moderate range, in the 400s to 800s, but it’s just not lining up with clean conditions. There’s a few mornings like Thursday the 23rd with a bit of 4 ft S swell, but the wind is still light cross-on, so it’s only scraping a marginal call.
The real standout, and the only one worth getting excited about, is Friday the 31st of July. We’ve got a solid 6 ft S swell rolling in on the morning, with a light cross-shore breeze. That’s going to be the cleanest we’ll see for a while. The combined wave energy jumps right up to 1586, which is strong, and that SSW optimum swell direction is a good match for the break. By the afternoon, it’s building to 7 ft S, but the wind picks up to a gentle cross breeze and the chop comes with it, so get on it early. That morning session is the pick of the entire 16-day run.
After that, the first of August drops back to 5 ft S on the morning, but it’s a bit wind-affected and the energy drops off. By Sunday the 2nd, it’s all fading out to tiny 2 ft leftovers. The second week is a real letdown, with nothing but flat, weak swell and poor conditions all the way through to the 5th of August. It’s a real blank run after the 31st.
So, in short: if you’re looking for a wave, keep your eyes on the morning of Friday the 31st of July. That’s your best bet. The rest is a long stretch of waiting.
Rusty.
