The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s on offer at States Avenue (Gas Chambers) over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a flat spell for the most part.
We’re looking at a long stretch of very small, weak waves. From the start of the period through to the end of the second week, there’s hardly anything to get excited about. The combined swell energy barely gets into double digits for days on end, often sitting between 12 and 92 (weak to low moderate energy). Most of this time, the surf is either too small, too weak, or the wind is messing it up.
There’s a brief window on Thursday the 10th in the morning that might get your attention. We’ve got a 3ft swell coming from the south (with a short 7-second period) and clean offshore wind from the WNW at 16 mph. The combined energy hits 65 (still moderate). It’s surfable, but the waves are pretty average. This spot is exposed to swell and consistent, but what’s coming through is just not enough to make it a standout.
Later on, Friday the 18th shows a bit of pulse. Friday morning we see 2ft from the ESE at 8 seconds, with a light offshore breeze from the NW at 6 mph – clean conditions. The energy is still low at 57, but it’s at least surfable. Friday afternoon holds similar size (2ft) with a moderate offshore wind (NW 16 mph). These are only a 1 out of 10 days – very ordinary.
Truth be told, nothing in this 16-day window is more than a knee-high, weak mess. If you’re desperate for a paddle, Thursday the 10th morning or Friday the 18th are your best bets, but don’t expect to get wet with anything worth writing home about.
No standout sessions, no proper swell. This is one of those times the ocean just takes a nap.
Stay patient. Rusty.
