Table - best surf conditions forecast for States Avenue (Gas Chambers) over the next 16 days.
Alright, I’ll level with you – this 16-day stretch is looking pretty bleak. The first few days are a total dud with tiny, weak swell and poor wind, so don’t get your hopes up.
We’re looking at States Avenue (Gas Chambers). The water’s running a touch warmer than normal at 75°, which is a bit unusual for this time of year. But that’s about the only positive.
From Monday the 13th right through to the end of the month, it’s a real struggle. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, coming from the SE and S, with periods that are all over the place – short and weak. The energy is almost non-existent, with combined swell energy sitting between 11 and 137 (weak to barely moderate). You’ll see a little bump around Monday the 20th morning with a 3ft SSE swell and a period of 8 seconds, giving a combined energy of 137 (moderate), but the wind is a cross-shore with some chop, so it’s still messy. That’s probably the best the whole period has to offer, but it’s not a standout.
The rest of the time is plagued by onshore and cross-onshore winds, with a few cleaner moments on Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th, but the swell is just too small to do anything with. There’s a chance of some glassy conditions on Thursday the 16th morning with a 2ft S swell, but it’s just not enough to get excited about.
Honestly, this is a blank run. The setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, especially on the windier days like Saturday the 18th afternoon with 19 mph winds. For us, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d hang the board up for a couple of weeks.
