Alright, Rusty here again, but in feet and miles. Let’s break it down.
It’s a flat, quiet stretch ahead for us at States Avenue (Gas Chambers). We’re looking at a two-week stretch where the surf is basically a no-show. It’s a tough run, and I gotta be straight with ya—this place is consistent, but that doesn’t mean much right now. The whole forecast is a long gap of nothing rideable, from now all the way through to mid-July.
The early days—Thursday morning into the weekend—are straight up poor. Tiny waves, cross-shore winds, and a combined swell energy that barely hits 71 (weak). Even the glassy Friday morning with a slight air and just 0.7ft of swell is a washout. That pattern just keeps on rolling: small, messy, and not worth paddling out for.
We do get a little bump in wave height around Tuesday, July 7th, with swell hitting 3ft from the ESE, but the period is a short and weak 5 seconds, and the wind is onshore or cross-on. Not the kind of energy that makes you grab your board. The energy stays low for days, with only a brief uptick on Friday morning, July 10th, when the swell reaches 3ft from the SSE and combined energy climbs to 119 (moderate). But again, the wind’s cross-onshore and choppy, so it’s not clean.
The closest we get to anything worthwhile is Wednesday, July 15th and Thursday, July 16th in the mornings. Wednesday shows 3ft from the SSE, with a clean offshore WNW breeze—glassy. The energy is still modest at 86 (weak), but it’s surfable. Thursday morning repeats that 3ft, SSE swell with the wind turning cross-off from the west, giving us clean lines again. That’s the only real window, and it’s not a strong swell. These are just ordinary, average waves—nothing to call home about.
The standout? Honestly, there isn’t one. If you’re desperate, aim for Thursday morning, July 16th, with 3ft SSE swell, clean conditions, and a gentle breeze. It’s the least messy option in a two-week dry spell.
It’s a rough outlook. We’ve got a long gap with no real recommendations, but States Avenue is consistent and forecasts can shift. Hang in there.
Rusty.
