The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up for us.
Honestly, it's a pretty grim stretch ahead. We’ve got a solid 16-day window, but the first week and a half is almost a write-off. From Sunday the 2nd right through to about Thursday the 13th, it’s all "poor surf conditions" – tiny, weak swell with a combined energy barely cracking 100 (115) to around 300 (303) at best. The wind is mostly a light cross-onshore breeze, which is about as average as it gets, but the waves just aren't there. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The only glimmer of hope shows up on the horizon. Starting around Friday the 14th, things get a little more interesting. The swell starts to build, and we see a shift towards a more promising groundswell with a longer period of 18 seconds and combined energy climbing into the 300s and even hitting 476 m. It’s still only marginal, but the tide and conditions are starting to look more like they might actually line up.
The standout for the entire outlook is Corona Del Mar Jetty. It’s a fairly exposed breakwater that likes a good SSW swell, which is exactly what we’re getting. The best window is going to be Saturday the 15th morning. The forecast shows a 3 ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, which is a proper groundswell. The energy is peaking around 399. The wind is a light westerly cross-shore, which should keep it clean. The 16-second period is a long one, so expect longer lulls between sets, but when they come through, they'll have some real shape. It’s a breakwater spot, so that long-period energy should wrap in nicely. The following week, the quality is less certain, but the general trend is better. Keep an eye on the 17th of August for another potential window with a 3 ft SSW swell and light cross-shore winds.
So, for the next week, save your energy. The real focus is that weekend of the 15th and 16th. It's not going to be pumping, but it will be the best we've got.
Rusty.
