The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s coming for the next two weeks.
Honestly, it's a grim stretch. The whole 16-day window is a flat spell for States Avenue (Gas Chambers), with only one day that even qualifies as surfable, but it’s nowhere near a standout. From the start – Monday the 10th of August – right through until the end of the second week, the waves are just too small and the conditions are messy. You’ve got days of tiny swell around 1.0 ft to 2 ft with onshore or cross winds, making for choppy, poor surf. No real energy to speak of, with combined swell energy mostly in the weak range (7 to 32), just a limp wash. A few mornings show clean conditions, like Wednesday the 13th with offshore NW winds at 6 mph, but the swell is only 1.0 ft – not enough to get excited about.
The only flicker of something usable comes on Monday, August 17th, morning. We finally see a bump in swell to 2 ft from the SSE with a period of 7 seconds and combined energy of 54 – still weak, but borderline surfable. The wind is a light NNE breeze at 6 mph, cross-off, so it’s clean. It’s not good, but it’s the only time in the entire forecast you could possibly get a wave. Even then, it’s described as “very ordinary conditions.” So, if you’re desperate, that’s your window. After that, it’s back to tiny, weak swells and crappy winds right through the second week, with nothing else worth paddling out for.
Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird to report.
So, the blunt truth: there are no good surf options in the 16-day window. It’s a total blank run. This break can be consistent sometimes, but right now it’s a desert. Forecasts can change, but for now, save the wax.
