The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a long stretch of quiet, underwhelming surf ahead. The first decent recommendation doesn’t show up until Sunday, August 10th, so we’re looking at a solid 12-day gap of nothing worth paddling out for. The whole period is dominated by a weak, inconsistent swell pattern that just doesn’t have the juice.
The standout session, and really the only one to get excited about, is Monday morning, August 10th. That’s when we finally see a bit of life. The water is a balmy 73°F, which is a whopping 8°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, so you won’t need a wetsuit. The swell is only 2 ft from the SSW, with a period of 14 seconds, giving it a bit of groundswell texture. The combined energy is a moderate 218, and the real kicker is the light SSE wind, which creates a cross-offshore breeze. That’s going to keep things clean and make for some fun little waves. It’s a small day, but it’s the best we’ll see.
The rest of the 16 days is a real bummer. From Wednesday, July 29th, right through to Saturday, August 9th, the conditions are consistently poor. Onshore or cross-shore winds, small chop, and weak swell heights stay between 1 ft and 3 ft. The combined energy barely cracks 100 on most days, which is weak. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, ruining any chance of a clean face. The swell is small and the quality is just not there for a proper paddle session.
After that Monday morning window on August 10th, it goes back to the same story. The following days show a tiny increase in swell height but the wind turns onshore again, so it’s mostly a write-off.
It’s a tough forecast, but for a consistent spot like El Porto (Los Angeles), it won’t stay this flat forever. The only real window is that Monday morning – if you can, get out there early for a few clean little ones.
Rusty.
