The Lowdown
Well, folks, it’s Rusty here. We’ve got a bit of a grim picture for the next couple of weeks. The only game in town is States Avenue (Gas Chambers). It’s a beach-and-jetty setup, and it’s consistent, but we’re looking at a long dry spell with hardly any worthwhile waves.
The water temperature is sitting at 75°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t be shivering while you wait for something to ride.
The whole 16-day window is a mess. From Friday, 24 July right through to the end of the month, there’s nothing. Winds are mostly cross-onshore or cross-shore, and the swell is tiny—mostly around 1ft to 2ft from the SE and E, with short periods of 5 to 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak, often in the 20 to 87 range. It’s choppy, lumpy, and just plain poor. We even get a couple of days with risk of thunderstorms and rain showers, but still no surf.
The first half of August isn’t any better. From Saturday, 1 August onwards, the wind picks up, with gusts up to 18 mph from the S, kicking up a cross-onshore chop. The swell height does bump up to 5ft on the 1st and again on the 7th, but the period is short, under 7 seconds, and the wind is ruining it. The combined energy hits 228 on the 1st, which is moderate, but it’s not usable. The break is consistently “poor surf conditions” with zero scores.
There is a tiny glimmer on Thursday morning, 30 July. We get a 3ft SSE swell with a 9-second period and a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE. The combined energy is 132 (moderate), and conditions are clean. The problem? It’s only a 1 out of 10, and it’s a brief window before the afternoon turns to rubbish. It’s not really a standout, but if you’re desperate, that’s the only time you might find a surfable wave.
Honestly, this is a blank run. The setup is likely to stay poor, but forecasts can change. For now, I’d say save your energy and check back next week.
Rusty.
