The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s get into it. Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you—this 16-day stretch for the area is a tough one. We’re looking at JP Luby Pier, and honestly, there’s not a single day in this whole run that’s worth paddling out for. The whole forecast is a write-off for decent surf.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a 16-day gap with no solid recommendations. The swell is tiny and weak, and the wind is almost always working against us. That first week is a total bust. The water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is about normal for the time of year, so that’s not the issue—it’s everything else.
Let’s break it down. Monday the 20th kicks things off with a weak 3 ft swell from the SSE, but that’s wrapping in at a short, mushy 5-second period. The combined energy is a pathetic 49 (weak energy), and with a cross-on southerly breeze at 16 mph, it’s just choppy junk. That’s the story for the whole first week: tiny swell, short period, and cross-on winds. The biggest we see is on Tuesday the 28th, where the swell bumps up to 4 ft from the SSE, period creeps to 6 seconds, and the energy hits 107 (moderate). But that’s still paired with a fresh 22 mph cross-on wind, making it a messy, lumpy mess. That’s not surf, that’s a washing machine.
Even into the second week, it’s the same sad song. The swell never gets above 4 ft, the period is stuck at 5-6 seconds, and the wind is relentless from the SSE or SE, always cross-on. The energy values hover between 27 and 91 (weak to moderate), but with those onshore winds, the wave quality is just poor. Nothing stands out. No clean windows, no glassy mornings, no decent groundswell.
This is one of those stretches where the forecast is just a blank. For this area, it’s not unusual to get a run of poor conditions, but it tends not to stay this bad for long. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, I’d say leave the board at home. If you’re desperate for a session in the water, the setup at JP Luby Pier with the wind and chop might actually be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Rusty out.
