The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this 16-day stretch for the JP Luby Pier area is about as flat and frustrating as it gets. We’re looking at a long, empty run of tiny, wind-affected slop with nothing worth paddling out for. The water is sitting at a balmy 85°, which is about 1° warmer than average for this time of year, so normal summer warmth, nothing wild.
From Monday the 24th of August right through to Tuesday the 8th of September, it’s a grim picture. Every single morning and afternoon is tagged with “poor surf conditions.” The swell is tiny, never getting above 3ft, and most of the time it’s a pathetic 1ft to 3ft of short-period, onshore junk coming from the SSE or SE. That combined swell energy is weak, barely cracking double digits at best (9), and only occasionally pushing into the low triple digits (71) by the end—but it’s still messy. Winds are almost always onshore or cross-onshore, turning what little bump there is into choppy, wind-rippled junk. Even the few moments with a light breeze (like Thursday the 27th morning with a 6 mph cross-shore) can’t save it because there’s just no push.
There are no standouts here. No hidden gems. JP Luby Pier is a beginner-friendly spot, exposed to SE swell, and it’s fairly consistent, but consistency means nothing when the consistency is consistently bad. The optimum swell direction from the guidance is SE, and we get that, but it’s too weak (1ft to 3ft) and too short-period (4-6 seconds) to do anything. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” but honestly, you won’t find a soul out there because there’s nothing to ride.
Forget about it. This is a total write-off for paddle surfing. If you’re into kite surfing, the stronger onshore breezes later on (like the 19 to 22 mph gusts on September 3rd and 5th) might give you something to play with, but for a surfboard? Don’t bother. The forecasts can change, but right now, this is a blank run that’s all too normal for this setup.
Rusty.
