The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Corona Del Mar Jetty.
Honestly, mate, the next 16 days are looking pretty flat and frustrating for this spot. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing happening. The first real chance to even think about paddling out is on Friday, the 31st of July, and even then it’s a marginal call. The swell is small, coming from the south at 4ft with a 14-second period, which is a nice long-period groundswell that should have some push, but the combined energy is moderate at 500. The wind is a light cross-shore from the WSW at 6 mph, which is clean enough. The water temp is about average for the time of year. It’s surfable, but it’s not going to blow your mind.
After that, it’s a brutal run of poor conditions. From Saturday the 1st of August all the way through to Saturday the 15th of August, every session is rated as poor. The swell drops off to 1ft for days on end, with the wind mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess of things. Even when the period stretches out to 19 seconds on the 7th and 11th, the swell is so tiny and the wind is wrong, so it’s just no good.
There is one period that pops up as a hint of something better. On the morning of Friday the 7th of August, we see a 2ft swell from the SSW with a very long 19-second period, and the combined energy is 300. The wind is a light cross-onshore. It’s still marginal, but that long period means there’s some deep water energy trying to wrap in. The Jetty is a breakwater, so it can handle that kind of groundswell, but at 2ft it’s just too small to get excited about.
The best on offer is that Friday morning, the 31st of July. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the only window where you’ve got a bit of size, a clean light breeze, and a long period swell. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your window. Everything else is a write-off. That’s a tough run of nearly two weeks of poor surf. We’re in a slump, but it won’t stay this way forever. Forecasts can change.
Stay salty.
Rusty.
