The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Corona Del Mar Jetty over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, if you’re dreaming of scoring some clean waves, you’re going to be waiting a while. The first run of decent surf doesn’t really show up until Thursday, the 3rd of September. Before that, it’s a pretty bleak run of small, onshore, and generally poor conditions. We’re talking days of marginal surf and light onshore breezes that just won’t clean things up. The swell energy is weak, sitting under 750 (moderate) most days, with a few spikes here and there, but the wind is just never your friend.
Thursday the 3rd of September morning is where it finally turns the corner. For a few hours we get a glassy, clean window. The swell will be a tidy 5ft from the SSW with a 12-second period, which is a nice, rippable size for intermediates. The combined energy hits 787 (moderate), so there’s enough push to get you into the wave early. This is the standout session of the whole outlook - a proper window of clean surf. By the afternoon, the cross-shore wind picks up and things get choppy again.
After that, the surf fades back into the small stuff, with a lot of long-period groundswell that’s going to be tricky on this breakwater setup. The wind stays mostly cross-shore or cross-on, keeping things bumpy. The second week is pretty quiet overall – small, weak pulses with not much to write home about.
So, if you’ve got time, keep your eyes on that Thursday the 3rd of September morning. It’s the one clean chance in a sea of mediocrity.
Rusty.
