The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking like a bit of a dry spell for the most part. We’ve got a big gap of quiet water before anything even starts to whisper.
Right now, we’re looking at States Avenue (Gas Chambers). It’s a beach and jetty setup, exposed to the south-east. For the first week and a half, it’s pretty grim. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year. From Wednesday the 9th right through to the morning of Monday the 21st of September, it’s mostly tiny, weak, and choppy. You’ll see a few cleaner moments, like Thursday afternoon the 10th with a weak 3ft swell from the south at 6 seconds, but the wave energy is weak (128) and the conditions are just "ordinary". A glassy moment on Friday the 11th gives you a tiny 1.0ft, but it’s simply not worth the paddle. That’s a solid 12 days of near-nothing.
Now, listen up. The first real sign of life shows up on Monday the 21st of September. The morning brings a 5ft swell from the east-northeast with a period of 7 seconds. The wave energy bumps up to moderate (229) and the wind is a clean offshore from the west-southwest. That’s the best we’ve got, but it’s still labeled as marginal. The swell is a bit short period, so it’ll be a little lumpy, but it’s clean. The afternoon stays similar with a 4ft swell, but the wind holds. That’s the one and only true standout in this whole stretch.
After that, it drops back off. Tuesday the 22nd is a cross-shore mess, and the next few days are just small and choppy. The very end of the forecast on Thursday the 24th of September brings a pulse of 3ft swell from the south-southeast, but with a very long period of 15 seconds, and a strong wave energy (484). That’s a classic groundswell, but the wind is a moderate cross-shore, which will put a chop on it. For a beach break, that long period can make it break a bit too straight, so it’s not the highlight.
So, bottom line: if you’re desperate for a paddle, mark your calendar for Monday the 21st of September. That’s the only window where the wind and swell line up for a proper session. Otherwise, it’s a long wait for very little.
Rusty.
