The Lowdown
Hey, it's Rusty. I've got to level with you—the next 16 days at States Avenue (Gas Chambers) are a write-off for any decent surf. The water's sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than average for July, but that's the only bright spot. There's no real swell on the horizon, and the few pulses that do show up get chewed up by the wind.
From Thursday 16 July right through to Friday 31 July, it's a long blank run with barely a wave worth paddling for. The combined swell energy barely cracks 100 on a couple of days—like Sunday 19 July morning, where a 4 ft S swell (energy 121) comes with a risk of thunderstorms and a moderate cross-off breeze. It's clean but the waves are small and ordinary. Wednesday 22 July morning offers similar: 3 ft SSE at 8 seconds, energy 128, light cross-off, but again just surfable—nothing to get excited about.
A few other mornings scrape a "surfable but very ordinary" rating—Monday 27 July morning has 3 ft SSE at 7 seconds, but onshore wind ruins it. The best of a bad bunch is Friday 31 July afternoon: 3 ft SE at 7 seconds, glassy conditions, and energy of 79. That's clean, but it's still a tiny, weak swell.
The break itself is consistent, and it's often crowded, but when there's nothing breaking, that doesn't matter. For this stretch of coast, a flat spell like this is normal—it tends to go quiet for long stretches. Don't bother paddling out unless you just want a float. The setup is a beach and jetty, so with any real wind it gets messy. Honestly, if you're keen on something, kiting might be more interesting than surfing this week.
