The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cookin’ over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with nothing worth paddling out for. From the start of the forecast right through to mid-August, there’s absolutely nothing on offer that’s gonna get a surfer excited.
We’ve got a small bump of energy showing up around Friday the 7th of August, but even that’s not gonna save us. That’s the biggest swell of the period, with a combined energy of (191) – which is a solid, moderate pulse of energy for a beach/jetty setup like States Avenue (Gas Chambers). The swell hits about 4 ft from the S, but the period is a weak 6 seconds. That’s just windswell – short, crumbly, and lacking any real grunt. And to make matters worse, the wind that morning is a cross-shore moderate breeze, so it’s gonna be chopped up and messy. The rest of the time we’re stuck with tiny 0.7 ft to 2 ft slop, mostly from the SSE or SE, often with cross-onshore winds and a choppy, lumpy surface. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild to report there.
Honestly, with the swell this small, the wind this bad, and the conditions this poor, this stretch looks a lot more interesting for a kite surfer than anyone on a paddle board. It’s a beach/jetty break, so maybe if you’re desperate for a splash on one of the rare glassy mornings late in the period – like Tuesday the 11th or the 9th – you could catch a knee-high ripple, but it’s not surfing. There are no standouts here, no hidden gems. It’s a blank run, plain and simple.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, and maybe go for a skate.
Rusty.
