The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s break down what’s in store for Corona Del Mar Jetty.
We’re starting off in a flat, forgettable pattern. The water is running at 73°F, which is about 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s really unusual, like stepping into a warm bath.
From Monday 24 August through the end of the week, the waves are tiny. Swell heights are 2ft or less, with periods mostly between 13 and 17 seconds, but the energy is weak, topping out around 333 on Monday morning. Winds are cross or cross-onshore, and the wave quality is just poor. A little bump on Wednesday 26 August morning gives us a 4ft S swell with a light onshore breeze, but the combined energy (660) is moderate and the conditions are still not good. It’s a miss.
The only real glimmer comes on Monday 7 September. That morning, we’ve got a 4ft S swell with a light offshore breeze from the WNW. That’s clean. The combined energy is 648, so moderate but solid. The swell direction is close to the jetty’s optimum, and the break is fairly exposed. The period is 13 seconds, so it’s proper groundswell. It’s not huge, but it’ll be clean and fun. Crowds are possible here, but for a Monday morning, it’s your best shot.
After that, Tuesday 8 September morning brings a 5ft SSW swell, but onshore winds from the S ruin it. That’s too big for beginners and the wind will chop it up.
So, the standout in this whole 16-day window is that Monday 7 September morning session. It’s a long way off, so don’t lock in plans yet, but it’s the only one that’s looking clean with a decent swell. Everything else is marginal or poor.
Rusty.
