The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks.

First off, I gotta be straight with you – the surf forecast for the next 16 days is a real bummer. There isn’t a single session that gets a tick of approval from the data. It’s a long, flat, and messy stretch, so if you’re looking for a proper wave, you’re going to be waiting a while. The whole period is basically one big gap with no real recommendations.

Let’s start with the beginning of the outlook. Tuesday the 4th of August kicks things off at States Avenue (Gas Chambers). We’re looking at a tiny 3 ft swell from the SE, but it’s a short-period 7 seconds, and the wind is a cross-on ENE breeze at 9 mph. The combined swell energy is weak at 117 and the water is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. But honestly, the waves are just poor and choppy. Nothing to write home about.

Wednesday the 5th is even smaller – 2 ft from the SE, period still a short 6 seconds, and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, with energy dropping to 46. The rest of the week through to the weekend doesn’t get any better. From Thursday the 6th to Sunday the 9th, we’re stuck with tiny, weak swell, mostly from the S or SSE, with periods around 5 or 6 seconds. The winds are a mix of cross and cross-onshore, creating a cross-chop. The combined energy stays in the weak 30s to 60s range. It’s just not worth paddling out for.

The pattern continues into the second week. Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th offer a little 2 ft, but it’s still short-period junk. On the 10th we get a clean window with a cross-off wind, but the swell is too small and weak. By the 13th of August, we get a glassy morning with an E wind at 3 mph, but the swell is a pathetic 2 ft with a 7-second period and energy of just 31. It’s basically a flat calm.

The 14th and 15th see a brief uptick in energy to 92 and 88, but the swell height is still only 3 ft to 3 ft and the winds are either cross-off or light cross-onshore. Still not enough push to make it fun. The final days from the 16th to the 19th of August are a total write-off, with swell dropping to 0.5 ft or 2 ft, and the energy falling to single digits.

So, to sum it up: there are no standout sessions, no windows of good surf. The whole 16-day forecast is a blank. For a spot like States Avenue, which is consistent, this kind of run is unusual, but it happens. The wind is often messy, and the swell just isn’t delivering. I’d say hang the board up for a bit, maybe check the forecasts again in a few days. Things can change, but right now, it’s a long wait.

Stay patient,
Rusty
