The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming down the line. We’re sticking with the South Bay stretch, looking at the next couple of weeks. First thing you gotta know – the water is a balmy 72° right now, which is a good three and a half degrees warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a very unusual warm spell, so you can leave the thick suit at home.
Right now, it’s a bit of a waiting game. There’s practically nothing on offer to start, with a few days of really small, wind-affected slop. The first real glimmer of hope comes early on Sunday morning, the 30th of August. We get a nice window with light SSE winds that are cross-offshore, cleaning things up nicely. The swell is a modest 3 ft from the SSW, but it’s packing a moderate 358 combined energy. It’s not gonna blow your mind, but for El Porto it’ll be a welcome change from the choppy stuff.
The real standout of the whole period, and the one worth keeping an eye on, rolls in a bit later. Come Thursday morning, the 3rd of September, the swell pushes up to 4 ft from the SSW. The combined energy jumps to a solid 538, which is a nice bump in power. With light S winds keeping things a bit cross, the conditions should be workable. That’s the session to circle on your calendar, and it even clears up nicely again the following Friday (4th) and Saturday (5th) mornings with those same sweet cross-offshore winds.
Further down the line, things settle back into a more typical pattern of small SSW pulses. The mornings on the 5th, 6th, and 7th of September all look clean with those light cross-offshore breezes, but the swell size is dropping back into the 2 ft to 3 ft range. The energy stays moderate, so it’s not a total loss, but you won't be scrambling for your board.
For the second week, it’s really just a case of small, clean mornings if the wind plays ball. The swell direction sticks to the SSW-SW, and with lighter breezes forecast, it’s more of a longboarder's paradise than a peaky performance wave. Nothing giant, but there’s enough scattered windows that you won’t be completely dry.
Signing off, Rusty.
