The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at our local break, Lori Wilson Park. I’ll tell ya straight: this 16-day run is a tough slog. The surf is flat to small all the way through, and nothing jumps out as a must-surf session.
We are looking at swell heights mostly around 0.7 ft to 1 ft, with a few days hitting 2 ft to 2 ft. Even on those bigger days, the winds are cross or cross-onshore, messing up the surface. Combined energy is weak, reading 8 to 76 (low energy) – nothing with serious push.
Starting Wednesday morning, August 12th: clean with offshore wind, but only 1.0 ft of ESE swell – tiny. Thursday morning the 13th is the same story: clean, 0.7 ft. That sets the tone. We see a tiny bump to 1 ft on Sunday the 16th morning with a cross-offshore breeze, still poor surf. The pattern holds all week.
Tuesday the 18th morning offers glassy conditions and 1 ft of swell – still poor quality, just not enough wave. Later, on Wednesday the 19th, we get the biggest swell at 2 ft to 2 ft from the E/ESE, with combined energy hitting 61–76, but winds are onshore or cross-onshore. Not the clean conditions we want.
Brief windows show up on Thursday the 20th morning with cross-offshore breeze and 1 ft, and again Friday the 21st morning with glassy conditions and 1.0 ft. Still tiny. Into the second week (August 24th through 27th), mornings bring 1 ft NE/ENE swells and occasional cross-offshore breezes, but it remains poor overall.
Water temp is about 85°F, which is normal for the time of year. So, the best bet is dawn patrol on glassy mornings like Tuesday the 18th or Friday the 21st – but don’t expect much. Bring a longboard and patience. The surf just isn’t cooperating right now.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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 Lori Wilson Park 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.
