The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what’s coming. It’s a real bummer, to be straight with you. Over the next 16 days, the ocean’s basically asleep. There’s a huge stretch in the middle where you won’t find a single ride worth paddling for. You’ve got a small window early on, and one whisper of hope way out near the end, but it’s a long wait.
The only spot worth talking about is States Avenue (Gas Chambers). It’s a beach and jetty setup that faces south-east, which is the direction any tiny bit of swell is coming from, but the power is just not there. The water’s about 74°F, normal for this time of year.
Tuesday afternoon, July 28th is a total mess. You’ve got a thunderstorm risk, a strong 18 mph south wind hammering onshore, and only 4ft of cruddy 5-second wind swell. The wave energy is weak, and the surface will be lumpy as hell. Skip it.
Wednesday, July 29th is your best bet, and I use that term loosely. The morning is the pick. A light 9 mph wind from the northwest, blowing straight offshore, cleaning up a 3ft SSE swell. The period is still short at 7 seconds, so there’s no punch (energy is weak), but it will be clean and rideable. The afternoon holds up with the same 3ft and offshore breeze. It’s nothing special, but it’s the only time you’ll find a wave that isn’t blown out.
From Thursday, July 30th, it’s a wasteland. The swell drops below 3ft, the energy fades away, and while the wind stays light and offshore for a bit, there’s simply no wave to ride. By the weekend and into early August, you’re looking at knee-high slop with onshore and side-shore breezes. Dead for about ten straight days.
Then, way out on Monday, August 10th, there’s a tiny flicker. The morning shows a 2ft groundswell from the SSE with a 9-second period, and the wind is absolutely zero – dead glassy. The energy is low, but a flat, perfect surface is better than a flat, choppy one. That’s two weeks away though, so don’t bank on it.
Everything after that is more of the same: tiny swell, poor quality, and bad wind. This stretch is a proper drought. Don’t expect any fireworks.
Rusty.
