The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be straight. The next couple of weeks at Corona Del Mar Jetty are a bit of a fallow period for real surfing. Here’s the rundown.
Starting Thursday the 10th through Tuesday the 15th, we’re looking at tiny, weak surf. The water temperature at the start is 71°, which is a little warmer than usual for this time of year. The swell is puny, 0.9ft to 0.4ft, out of the SW to SSW, with onshore and cross-onshore breezes. The wave energy is moderate at best (in the 400s down to the low 100s). It’s poor quality, and you’ll be doing more floating than surfing. The long periods (16-20 seconds) tell us it’s groundswell, but there’s just not enough size to do anything with it.
Then, around Wednesday the 16th, things start looking a little less grim. Swell bumps up to 0.8ft from the SSW, period of 18 seconds, combined energy at 372. Winds stay light but still cross-onshore. It’s only called "marginal," but there’s more life in the water.
The best part of the forecast is from Thursday the 17th through Tuesday the 22nd. We see consistent swell from 0.6ft to 0.9ft, mostly SW, with periods of 15 to 19 seconds. Winds become light to gentle and often cross-shore, which cleans the surface up nicely. Combined energy sits in the strong moderate range, up to 547. The real standout is Monday the 21st. Morning brings 0.9ft of SW swell at a 17-second period, energy at 501. The wind is light cross-onshore in the morning, but the afternoon swings to a light cross-shore breeze, making for the cleanest conditions of the stretch. That’s your best chance to get a few fun ones.
The last few days, 23rd to 25th, the swell stays around 0.7ft to 0.9ft, but the period drops shorter (14-15 seconds) and the wind gets stronger on some afternoons, putting a chop on it. Friday the 25th afternoon offers a long 21-second period swell, but only 0.5ft with a moderate cross-offshore wind. Clean but too small to count on.
So, your best bet is that mid window, especially Monday the 21st. The Jetty can get a crowd when there’s a pulse, but with these marginal conditions, it won’t be a zoo. Worth a check, but don’t clear your calendar.
