The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at the surf situation for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim picture for New Jetty/South Jetty. We’re looking at a solid 16-day stretch with nothing worth paddling out for. The entire forecast is a write-off for decent waves. Every single day, every session, is marked as poor surf conditions. So, don’t bother checking the cam or rushing to get the wetsuit on.
We start off Wednesday, August 5th, with tiny, weak 1ft SW swell. The combined energy is a measly 55 (weak). It’s clear and glassy in the morning with a light breeze, but there’s just no wave to ride. This flat, low-energy pattern hangs around for the rest of the first week. We get a bit of a pulse of energy on the 7th and 8th, with the combined energy climbing to 121 and 145 (moderate), but the swell is still a pathetic 1ft. The period gets long, up to 19 seconds, but with that tiny height, it's just a clean, flat ocean.
The second week is more of the same. The swells get a little more consistent, but the heights only creep up to 2ft or 2ft. The wind is mostly light and often offshore, which would be a dream if there were any waves. On Saturday, August 15th, the swell hits 2ft, and the combined energy is 255 (moderate), but a 12 mph cross-onshore wind is going to mess it up anyway. The biggest event of the entire forecast comes right at the end on Thursday, August 20th, when the swell jumps to 4ft from the W, but with a pitiful 6-second period, it’s just wind slop. The combined energy is 199 (moderate), but it’s poor surf conditions.
There is no standout. There is no best session. This is a complete blank run. The water temperature? No anomaly mentioned, so it's about average for the time of year, not that you’ll be in it.
For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a real bummer. But forecasts can change, so don’t lose hope entirely. For now, the board stays in the garage.
