The Lowdown
Alright let's break it down. This is States Avenue (Gas Chambers) and over the next 16 days, we are looking at a lot of flat, weak nothing. Water temp is nothing unusual, just your average for the season, but the waves are not cooperating at all.
Right now and through the first week, it’s almost dead. Swell is tiny, mostly under 2 ft, with periods under 10 seconds. That combined swell energy is weak—in the teens and thirties most days—so just a lot of non-surf. Even on the clean mornings when the wind is offshore or glassy—like Tuesday the 8th (0.7 ft, ESE, 8s) or Friday the 11th morning (2 ft, S, 6s)—the swell is so small you’d be floating.
Around the 15th and 16th, there’s a tiny pulse up to about 4 ft, but the period is short (6s) and the wind is cross-on, making it choppy. Not worth it.
The one day that sticks out is Saturday the 19th morning. That’s your best shot, and I mean *only* shot. Swell goes to about 7 ft from the ENE at 9 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 1014—so there's real muscle there. But 7 ft is expert-only territory, especially with a cross wind blowing at 22 mph. The afternoon drops to about 5 ft but stays lumpy.
For the rest of the run, it’s a washout. This spot is better suited for kite surfing during this stretch than regular paddle surfing. If you’re a die-hard local, you already know the drill.
Signing off.
