The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s in store for States Avenue.
Look, I’ll be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a proper paddle. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions. The swell energy is just a whisper, with combined energy values barely cracking 36 (36 m) for days on end. The water temp is sitting at a warm 78°F, which is a hefty 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a bathtub out there, but don’t let that fool you into thinking there’s any power behind it.
From Friday the 21st of August all the way through to Monday the 31st, it’s a flat spell. Every single session is tagged as “poor surf conditions” with a score of zero. You’ll see tiny waves, mostly under 2ft (2ft), with short, weak periods of 4 to 8 seconds and wind directions that are mostly onshore or cross-onshore. The only couple of moments that look clean are on Sunday the 23rd morning with a light WSW breeze and Tuesday the 25th morning with glassy conditions, but those swells are a pathetic 0.7ft to 1ft (0.7ft to 1ft). That’s barely a ripple. You’d be better off with a longboard and a dream, or just a cold drink on the beach.
The first real flicker of life doesn’t show up until Tuesday the 1st of September. The morning brings a glassy, clean surface with a light NNW breeze, and a S swell of 3ft (3ft) at 6 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 57 (57 m), which is still weak but at least something. The afternoon gets a bit better with a 4ft (4ft) S swell and a light NNE cross-offshore wind, boosting that energy to 135 (135 m). It’s not great, but it’s “surfable waves” after a long dry spell. That afternoon session on the 1st is the best on offer, but by expert standards, that’s a low bar.
After that, it fades again. Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are back to tiny, messy drivel. The good news? It’s a consistent spot for the most part, so it won’t stay this flat forever. Forecasts can change.
If you’re desperate, the Tuesday 1st of September afternoon is your one true standout. The water is warm, the wind is offshore, and you’ll have a clean 4ft (4ft) S swell. Bring a log and enjoy the peace, because crowds are likely at this spot.
Signing off,
Rusty.
