The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what States Avenue (Gas Chambers) has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. To be honest, it's a pretty flat and frustrating picture for a while, so we're going to have to be patient.
We've got a long stretch of nothing really worth getting wet for from now through to around the 25th of September. For day after day, we're looking at tiny, weak waves with poor conditions. The wind is mostly a problem, often cross or cross-onshore, and when it's not, the swell is just too small to bother with. The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 77°F, which is a massive 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that's some seriously warm water for a change.
Now, the first sign of life finally shows up on Saturday the 26th. It’s not a classic by any means, but we finally get some clean conditions with a light to gentle cross-offshore breeze from the west. The swell bumps up a little, with combined energy in the moderate range (74 to 135). It’s surfable, but only just.
The real standout window is Sunday the 27th. The morning sees a gentle cross-offshore breeze and a clean 3ft swell from the ESE at 10 seconds. The wave energy is building into the strong range (184). By the afternoon, it gets even better. The wind stays light and clean from the west, the swell holds at 3ft from the ESE, and the period stretches out to 11 seconds. That's proper groundswell energy now, hitting a combined energy of 223. This is a point break and reef setup at heart, so that longer period should wrap in nicely and offer up some better-shaped lines. This is the pick of the whole forecast. Just be aware this spot can get crowded, so you might have some company if you're chasing those clean, lined-up sets.
After that little burst of life, Monday the 28th sees a moderate cross-shore breeze mess things up again with a cross-chop, and the energy starts to fade. That Sunday session is the one to circle on the calendar.
Stay patient, wait for that Sunday glass-off, and I'll see you in the water.
