The Lowdown
Alright folks, let's cut to the chase. The surf's been mostly rubbish, and the next week is looking pretty bleak. We're seeing small, weak swell and winds that are just messing up the surface. Not worth the effort of getting your board wet for the next several days. The water's warm though, about 76°F, which is a solid 9°F above the norm for late August, so that’s something.
We are looking at a long stretch of nothing from now until Friday, September 4th. Don’t even bother checking the cam.
The first sign of hope comes on Saturday, September 5th. It’s still pretty average, but at least there’s a bit of energy coming back. Still, the winds are cross and the swell direction is all over the place. Don’t hype it up too much.
But then, here’s the one to wait for. Corona Del Mar Jetty on Sunday morning, September 6th is the standout. We’re looking at a 5ft swell from the south with a 14-second period, and the total wave energy is cranking at 1377. The best part? The wind is forecast to be glassy. Absolutely dead. That’s the window. The swell direction is perfect for this breakwater, and it’ll be handling that southwest groundswell well. This is a session for the experienced crew only though at this size. Sunday afternoon looks clean as well with a light offshore breeze, but there’s some rain expected.
Monday the 7th still has some size, but the wind swings onshore and just kills it. After that, the swell backs right off. By Tuesday the 8th, we’re back to tiny dribble and cross-shore winds. The rest of the week and into the following week is looking pretty forgettable. There’s just no energy to work with.
So yeah, it’s a tough run, but that one glassy morning on the 6th is a bit of magic if you can get out there. That’s the one. Hang in there.
