The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I've got a look at what's coming up for us. Let's get into it.
The first few days are actually looking pretty decent, especially the start of the period, but then things really go quiet. We’ve got a solid pulse of swell rolling in right at the top of the window.
Sunday, September 6th is the standout for the whole run. Corona Del Mar Jetty is where it's at. We're looking at a solid 5.2 ft swell from the south, and with a long 14-second period, that's proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is strong, coming in at 1088 (moderate wave energy). Early morning the wind is a gentle 9 mph from the NNW, which is offshore and will have the waves glassy and clean. The water is sitting at 73.4°F, which is a full 5.9°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that's very unusual, so it's going to feel like a bath out there. This is going to be a really good session, and the break is fairly exposed to the S/SSW swell, so it'll be handling the energy well. It’s an intermediate spot, and crowds are often around, so expect some company for these clean lines. Monday morning (Sept 7th) also looks good with similar 5.2 ft swell from the SSW and a cross-offshore breeze, though it won't be quite as perfect as Sunday. By Tuesday morning (Sept 8th), the swell drops to 4.3 ft and the wind goes cross-offshore, still fun, but the energy is dropping.
After Tuesday, things start to taper off fast. From Wednesday, September 9th, onwards, the swell gets small and the conditions become marginal at best. We're looking at a long stretch of poor to marginal surf, with swells dropping below 3.3 ft and onshore or cross-onshore winds becoming the norm. There's a brief flicker of life around Monday, September 21st, with a 2.6 ft SSW swell and a long 17-second period, but with cross-shore wind, it's not worth getting excited about. Basically, after the first couple of days, we're staring down a two-week gap of very small, blown-out conditions. For the experienced crew, the first Sunday and Monday are your only real windows.
