The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the States Avenue area.
To be honest, it's a quiet run ahead. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty lackluster, with no real standouts to get excited about. We've got a long stretch of small, weak surf and tricky winds, so don't expect any magic sessions.
The first hints of any rideable swell don't show up until Monday, August 3rd. The morning brings a 5ft swell from the SSE, but it's a cross-onshore wind from the SSW at 16 mph, so it'll be choppy and messy with moderate wave energy (259). The afternoon actually gets a bit bigger, pushing 7ft from the S, but that comes with a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore wind, making it lumpy and pretty rough. The combined energy jumps up to 777, which is strong, but the poor conditions mean it's not a paddle-friendly day. That size is also getting into the territory that's a bit much for beginners.
The rest of the period is a real struggle. We bounce between 1ft and 4ft for the most part, with the swell direction stuck around SSE to S. The periods are short, mostly between 4 and 8 seconds, so there's no real push or shape to the waves. The winds are almost always cross or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy. The combined energy is nearly always in the two-digit range, under 100, which is weak. There's a brief moment on Sunday, August 9th where the morning shows a clean, cross-offshore wind, but the swell is only 3ft from the S with a weak 6-second period, so it's just not enough to get excited about.
The pattern is clear: the swell is too small and the wind is too messy to offer any worthwhile surf. Honestly, this setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if you're into that scene. For the rest of us, it's a waiting game. It tends not to stay this poor for long, so forecasts can change, but for now, there's nothing to get the heart racing.
Keep your eyes on the horizon, but don't hold your breath.
Rusty.
