The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, for the next ten days or so, it’s pretty flat and quiet. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about. The first real chance of a wave comes on Tuesday the 18th, but it’s a weak one. From there, we’re looking at a dry spell of poor to marginal conditions that lasts all the way through to the end of August. It’s a proper lull. The good news is that things start to show a pulse of life as we roll into the beginning of September, but it’s a long wait.
The best bet in the whole window is shaping up for Corona Del Mar Jetty. The standout moment looks to be on Saturday the 29th of August. We’ve got a solid pulse of SSW swell pushing in at 3 ft to 4 ft. The swell period is a long 16 to 17 seconds, which is proper groundswell energy. The combined energy reading hits 629 (moderate wave energy), so there’s some grunt behind it. The winds are light and variable, going from onshore in the morning to a light cross-shore in the afternoon. That afternoon session could be the one, with small crossing wind ripples but nothing too nasty. Just keep in mind that with a period over 15 seconds, this long-period groundswell can sometimes break a bit straight on a beach break, but here it should line up okay. This is one for the experienced crew, as it’s nearing the top end for beginners.
The water temperature is sitting at 71° which is a couple of degrees warmer than normal for this time of year, so the water feels nice and balmy.
For the rest of the window, it’s a case of waiting. The Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st still have some waist-high leftovers, but the wind is a bit more cross-on, so it won’t be as clean. The first few days of September see a little bump in energy again, but the swell drops back in size and the winds are onshore in the mornings, making it tricky.
So, if you’re keen, pencil in the Saturday the 29th of August afternoon at Corona Del Mar Jetty. That’s the pick of the fortnight. The rest is a waiting game.
Rusty.
