The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down what’s going on at States Avenue (Gas Chambers). I’ve got to level with you, this 16-day outlook is a tough one. The numbers show a real dry spell with no decent surf to speak of. The water is sitting at 77°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only highlight. The wave energy is mostly weak, sitting under 100 for days on end.
We kick off on Tuesday, August 18th with a tiny 2ft swell from the southeast, but a cross-shore breeze has it looking messy. That pattern just keeps going – Wednesday the 19th has clean conditions with a light offshore wind, but the swell drops to a pathetic 1ft. You’d only go out if you were really keen for a paddle. Thursday the 20th all the way through Monday the 24th show “poor surf conditions” with swell barely hitting 2ft and the wind shifting around, never giving us a clean, lined-up wave.
Now, there is one little flicker late on Monday the 24th – a 1ft southeast swell with a 12-second period shows up under a clean offshore breeze. The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” which is about as good as it gets. But don’t get excited; it’s still tiny.
As we move into the second week, from Tuesday the 25th through to Wednesday, September 2nd, the energy picks up a bit, hitting moderate levels, but the swell direction stays wrong and the wind is almost always on it or cross-on. The swell height never gets above 3ft, and even on Sunday the 30th of August when we see a 3ft to 3ft southeast groundswell with a moderate energy reading of 305, the wind is a moderate cross-shore chop. It’s not going to be clean. The crowds at States Avenue are “often,” so when there’s a wave, you’ll have company, but honestly, there’s nothing here that’s worth the hassle.
There are no standouts. This is a blank run. For this spot, a stretch like this is pretty normal when the swell windows aren’t lining up. It’s a beach and jetty setup, and with the lack of quality, it’d be more interesting for the kite surfers than for us with paddles.
