The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at States Avenue (Gas Chambers) for the next couple of weeks. It’s a beach/jetty spot, open to the swell, but it’s lookin’ pretty flat for a while. The water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothin’ crazy.
We start Monday the 3rd of August with a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-shore wind blowin’ 15 mph. The swell is a messy 5 ft from the SSE, period a short 8 seconds, with energy at 299. It’s lumpy and cross-chop. Tuesday the 4th drops to 3 ft, 7-second period, cross-onshore, and energy down to 86. It’s just rough.
Wednesday the 5th sees a 5 ft S swell, but the period is still short at 7 seconds, and the wind is a fresh 18 mph cross-shore. Energy is 413, but conditions are poor. Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th are small and weak, with the swell around 3 ft and energy in the 50 to 127 range. Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are tiny, with energy droppin’ to 40 and 53.
There’s a little change on Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th with some cleaner conditions. The wind goes WSW and then N, blowin’ cross-offshore, and we get a glassy morning on the 12th with a 1.0 ft, 5-period swell. Energy is just 10, but it’s clean. The afternoon of the 12th even shows a light offshore wind with a 2 ft, 4-second period ENE swell. Still not enough to ride.
The second week stays quiet. The best lookin’ moment is the afternoon of Saturday the 15th of August. The wind swings NW at 9 mph, cross-offshore, and the swell is 3 ft from the S with a 7-second period. Energy is 65, and the report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” but it’s the cleanest we’ll see. The morning of the 15th has a bigger 5 ft S swell, but with a 18 mph cross-offshore wind, it’ll be clean but blown out.
Monday the 17th of August morning is glassy, but the swell is a pathetic 0.7 ft from the SSE with a 9-second period – long period groundswell, but no height. Energy is 14. So, there’s a big gap from the start of the forecast to the 15th with no real surf. It’s a long, quiet spell. For a beach/jetty setup, this kind of dry run is pretty normal, but the forecasts can always change. The Saturday afternoon of the 15th is the only little window.
