The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down what’s happening in the water at Corona Del Mar Jetty. The long-range look is pretty sleepy, with no real juice for the next 16 days. Things start quiet on Friday, August 28th.
The water is a very warm 74°, which is way above normal for late summer, so forget the wetsuit. The whole run is pretty flat.
Friday morning the 28th, we've got a tiny 2ft swell from the SSW with a super long 17-second period. That long period is a sign of clean energy, and with a light 6 mph breeze from the SSW, the surface will be glassy. The combined energy is weak at 390, so you’re looking at thigh-high slop at best. For a jetty break, it’ll be clean but gutless.
Saturday the 29th gets a little better in the morning with 3ft from the SSW and still a long 17-second period. The combined energy jumps to moderate at 664, but a light cross-onshore wind at 6 mph puts a little texture on the face. It’s a longboard or funboard morning if you’re bored.
From Sunday the 30th all the way through Thursday, September 10th, we’re in a full-on flat spell. Every day shows swell under 4ft, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore at 6 to 12 mph, making for bumpy, weak waves. The combined energy stays weak or barely moderate. The reports all say poor or marginal. You might find a knee-high wave at dawn before the breeze picks up, but that’s the best you can hope for.
Looking way out to Friday, September 11th and Saturday the 12th, there’s a little bump of energy. The 12th shows a 5ft swell from the S (South) with a moderate 13-second period. The combined energy is strong at 840. But the wind is blowing from the south at 9 mph, onshore, which will trash the shape. For a jetty, that onshore wind and moderate period creates a messy, choppy wall. It looks more like a windy day for kiting than for surfing.
Overall, it’s a long, quiet stretch. There are no standouts. For a spot like Corona Del Mar, these blank runs are part of the deal. Keep your board waxed, but don’t rush down.
