The Lowdown
Alright surfers, Rusty here with a long look ahead at Gas Chambers. This is a unique spot – a beach and reef setup that’s known to be inconsistent and for advanced crew only. It’s a fickle wave, so we’re going to be sitting on our hands for a good long while before things get interesting.
Right now, it’s a flat spell. From Monday the 24th of August right through until Friday the 4th of September, we’re looking at a dry run of close to two weeks. There's barely a ripple. The water temp is sitting at 85°F, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when you’re staring at a glassy, wave-less ocean. We get mornings with glassy conditions, but there’s simply no swell to work with. It’s downright frustrating.
Finally, on the morning of Friday the 4th of September, we get a pulse of life. A moderate wave energy reads at 443, which is something to pay attention to. We’re looking at a solid 4ft swell from the NNE, with a 12-second period – a nice, long-period groundswell. The wind is a light offshore from the ENE, keeping things clean. This is the standout of the whole forecast. It’s a decent size, and with that long period, it will have some punch. For a spot that focuses on a WNW optimum swell direction, seeing any decent size from any direction is a bonus. Be aware, though, that this spot is only for advanced surfers; anything over 5ft is pushing it for the less experienced, and a long-period swell like this can be tricky at a beach-and-reef setup, often breaking a bit too straight.
The afternoon of the 4th gets a bit messier with a cross-offshore wind, and the wave energy drops slightly. Saturday the 5th of September offers a smaller, more ordinary 3ft swell, still clean in the morning but nothing to write home about. The beginning of the second week sees the swell drop off further, with 2ft to 3ft waves and some lovely glassy windows in the mornings, but the quality is just "surfable but ordinary."
So, to sum it up: don't even bother for the first two weeks, it's a total washout. Your one real chance to get a wave is the morning of Friday the 4th of September. Get on it early if you're an advanced surfer, because that’s the only window that’s worth your time. It’s a fickle spot, and this stretch proves it.
Rusty.

Information about the Gas Chambers Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Gas Chambers provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Gas Chambers can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Gas Chambers surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Gas Chambers may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
