The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for States Avenue over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough run. The forecast is pretty bleak for any decent waves. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, but the first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Thursday morning, the 3rd of September. Before that, from today right through Wednesday the 2nd, it’s all tiny, weak, and messy with cross-shore winds. We’re looking at swell heights of 0.3 ft to 2 ft and poor conditions. There’s nothing to get excited about – you’re better off leaving the board in the car.
The pick of a very average bunch comes on Thursday morning, the 3rd of September. We get a little pulse of swell from the SE at 2 ft, with a period of 9 seconds. That’s short-period, windswell stuff, but the key here is the wind: it’s going light WSW at 3 mph, coming cross-offshore. That should keep the surface clean. The combined wave energy is a very weak 68, so don’t expect any power. It’s a small, soft day for a longboard or a foiler if you’re desperate. The afternoon ruins it as the wind picks up to a moderate 16 mph, so grab that morning window.
After that little glimpse on Thursday, it’s back to the doldrums. Friday the 4th has a puff of southerly swell at 2 ft, but it’s short-period (6 seconds) and weak. The rest of the first week and into the second is a write-off – tiny swell, poor wind directions, and mostly "poor surf conditions" ratings. There’s a bump in energy on the 12th of September (Saturday) with a 4 ft S swell and combined energy hitting 158, but the wind is a gnarly onshore ESE at 16 mph, making it choppy and unrideable. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session, to be honest.
The only other fleeting moment is on the morning of Sunday the 13th of September. A tiny 2 ft SSE swell with a light offshore NNW breeze at 3 mph. It’ll be clean, but the swell is so small and weak (energy of 46) that you’ll be fighting for scraps. It’s not worth the wait.
Overall, this stretch is a total flat spell for States Avenue. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no weirdness there, but the lack of swell is the real story. There’s no standout day. If you can, keep your eye on the long-range for the third week; sometimes these things change, but for now, it’s a long, dry run.
Rusty.
