The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here, sizing up the next couple of weeks at New Jetty/South Jetty. And I’ll be honest, it’s a tough watch for a while. The water temperature is at 71°F, which is a crazy 7°F warmer than normal; that’s a real standout.
We’ve got a big gap of nothing. From now all the way through the 24th of August, there’s no real surf on offer. The combined energy of all swells is weak, mostly between 69 and 247, and every session is labelled “poor surf conditions.” The swell is tiny, around 1.0ft to 2ft from the SSW, with a very long period of 15-18 seconds. The wind is mostly light and cross-onshore, so it’s not even clean. It’s a proper dry spell.
The only thing worth watching comes at the tail end. On the morning of Tuesday the 25th of August, we see a bump. The wave height is 4ft from the south with a period of 16 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 738. The wind is light and onshore from the WSW. The afternoon of the 25th is similar at 4ft from the south and 746 energy, still with light onshore wind. The 26th of August morning holds 4ft from the south with 629 energy and light onshore wind. But the wave comment still says “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” It’s not a goer yet.
Then on the 28th of August, we get a change. The Friday morning has 4ft from the WNW with a very short period of 6 seconds, and 295 energy. The wind is light and onshore. The afternoon is 5ft from the WNW, 358 energy, with a slight air from the SW. That short period means it’s windswell, so it’ll be weak and messy.
So, the best option is the morning of the 25th of August, but it’s more of a maybe than a must-do. The swell is consistent and the energy is moderate, but the wind is onshore and the quality is still questionable. For experts, the 4ft from the south on the 25th or 26th might be worth a look, but don’t expect it to be clean. For beginners, it’s still too small and poor quality. This spot is fairly consistent, so it’s a rough patch, but things can change.
Rusty.
