The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about Main Street Pier in my usual style. The next 16 days? It's a real bummer, I gotta say. The surf is just not cooperating. We've got a long stretch of poor waves, and no real standout sessions to get stoked about. The water's about 84°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no complaints there.
The size is tiny – we're looking at waves from 0.7ft to 3ft, mostly coming from the ESE or E, with short to medium periods of 4 to 10 seconds. The combined swell energy is super weak, with numbers mostly in the teens, 20s, and 30s (14 to 106), so there's just no power. The wind is a mix of cross-on, cross, and cross-off, with very few clean windows. There's a glassy moment on Saturday morning, August 15th, but with only 0.7ft of swell, it's not worth getting wet.
The best we get is maybe around August 27th, when the period hits 10 seconds and the energy reaches 106, but it's still only 2ft of wave and the wind is onshore or cross-on, so it's going to be choppy. For a beach/pier break like this, with such small, wind-affected waves, it's more of a kite surfing setup than a paddle session. Crowds are usually a problem, but with conditions this bad, you'll have the place to yourself.
Honestly, there's nothing to recommend here over the next 16 days. It's a dry spell. If you're itching to surf, keep an eye on the charts, but don't expect much. This is a good time to wax your board or just go for a swim.
