The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya. Let's be straight up about the forecast for Corona Del Mar Jetty. The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, with a lot of small, messy stuff before we get a little glimmer of hope way down the line.
Right now, the water is sitting at 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it's gonna feel pretty nice.
The first week or so is a bit of a grind. We've got a lot of cross-shore to onshore winds messing up the small waves. The swell is mostly tiny, around 1ft to 2ft, and the wave energy is weak to moderate (under 350). The conditions are just not cooperating. There's a long stretch with almost no hope, especially from the 14th of July right through to the 23rd. The surf is mostly poor, and the wind is just making it a choppy, frustrating mess. You'd be better off doing something else.
Now, a little light appears on the horizon. The morning of Friday, the 24th of July, is the standout. We're looking at a clean 5ft SSW groundswell, with a solid 13-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NW, which is a major positive. It's going to be clean. The combined energy climbs up to a strong 842, so it'll have some push. This is the best bet of the whole forecast period, but it's a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
The swell sticks around for the weekend of the 25th and 26th, but the conditions get a bit more complicated. Saturday morning, the 25th, has a bit more size at 5ft, but the wind is a light cross-shore, which isn't as clean. The energy is very strong (over 1064), so it's a solid swell, but it might be a bit too much for beginners and will be better suited to more experienced surfers. Sunday morning, the 26th, drops back to 3ft but with a very long 19-second period, which is a proper groundswell. That long period can make a beach break like this a bit straight, but on the right tide, you might get a few good ones.
After that, the energy fades and the wind turns messy again. The 27th and 28th see the swell dropping back to under 3ft, and the cross-shore winds pick up, making it a choppy, windy mess again. The long-range stuff after the 24th is promising, but don't get your hopes up too high.
