The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and miles. Let’s look at the same bleak picture for Corona Del Mar Jetty.
We start with a little pulse on Tuesday, July 28th. Swell is from the SSW running about 4ft with a long 17-second period, and moderate energy (809 units). That’s a proper groundswell, but the wind is blowing onshore from the south at 9 mph, making it choppy. The jetty might offer some refuge, but it’s a marginal session at best. Water temp is pretty average for the season.
Wednesday, the 29th, the swell drops to 3ft with the same long period, but the wind is still onshore in the morning and cross-on in the afternoon. It’s not great. Thursday the 30th is the most promising, with swell pushing 5ft from the south at a 14-second period, but the wind stays cross-on. The scores are still low, and you’ll be scratching for a clean ride.
After Friday, August 1st, the surf flatlines. From Saturday the 2nd on, we’re looking at waves under 2ft, with energy levels below 200. The combined energy drops to as low as 94 units – that’s barely a ripple. The wind is light but often onshore or cross-on, so even a tiny bump is blown out. This flat spell runs straight through to August 12th. The second week is a total write-off.
So, the only real window is the first few days, and it’s a tough call. The best of a bad bunch is Thursday morning, July 30th, with 5ft from the south and a 14-second period. But with the wind being cross-on, don’t expect perfection. It’s a long stretch of quiet water after that, I’m afraid.
Rusty.
