The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’m lookin’ at what’s on the cards for Corona Del Mar Jetty over the next couple of weeks. There’s a pretty clear pattern here: a solid pulse of swell rolls in this weekend and into Monday, with some clean conditions that’ll get the blood pumpin’. After that, the waves drop right off and it turns into a flat spell for most of the second week, so don’t plan a session around anything after Tuesday.
The ocean’s been cooking this week with water temp at 75°, which is a massive 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s way above average, feels more like summer bathwater.
Friday the 4th is a write-off. Swell is tiny at 3ft from the SSW with a solid 17-second period, but cross-onshore wind and poor conditions mean the jetty’s just not on. No point paddling out. Saturday the 5th is a bit better, but still marginal – you’re lookin’ at 3ft to 4ft swell with cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, only worth a look if you’re desperate.
Now, Sunday the 6th is where it starts to turn on. The swell bumps up to 5ft to 6ft from the S, period around 14 seconds, and we’ve got offshore winds in the morning and clean conditions all day. The combined swell energy is a solid 1064 to 1242 (moderate to strong), so there’s some push. That’s the standout session – the jetty will have clean lines with that offshore breeze.
Monday morning the 7th also looks great: 6ft from the SSW, 14-second period, cross-offshore wind, and clean conditions. The energy’s up at 1284 (strong), and you’ll get some nice, punchy waves. The afternoon gets a bit choppy with a moderate cross-shore breeze, so get on it early.
After Monday, it’s a quick fade. Tuesday the 8th still has 5ft to 5ft swell and clean windows, but the wind turns cross-shore and the consistency drops. Wednesday the 9th onward, swell slips below 4ft and the energy tanks to 530 and lower (weak to moderate). From Thursday the 10th right through to Saturday the 19th of September, we’re lookin’ at a long stretch of poor surf – mostly 1.0ft to 2ft, with weak energy (often under 300) and onshore or cross-onshore winds. Don’t bother.
The best of the lot is definitely Sunday morning the 6th and Monday morning the 7th – that’s your window for clean, decent-sized waves with a bit of grunt. Get out there and enjoy it before it all goes flat.
Rusty.
