The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming down the line for States Avenue (Gas Chambers).
Well, I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and quiet. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak swell and hardly anything that’s gonna get the heart pumping. The first real surfable day shows up on Monday the 7th, but even then it’s just tiny 2ft waves from the east, with a period around 10 seconds. That morning, a light offshore breeze from the north-northeast will keep things clean, but the energy is low – only 98 (combined energy of all swells). It’s surfable, but honestly, it’s pretty ordinary. You’d be scratching for rides.
Then we go into a bit of a lull – nothing worth mentioning until Sunday the 13th. That Sunday morning, we see a little bump: 4ft out of the east-northeast, period around 7 seconds, and the energy picks up to 141. The wind is almost nothing, just a slight air from the north-northeast, so it’ll be clean. That’s probably the best session on offer in the whole run. Still, it’s not a standout in the classic sense – the swell’s not big, and it’s a short-period windswell, so don’t expect any real power. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird.
Beyond that, the forecast gets messy. The morning of Saturday the 19th shows a bit more size – 4ft from the east-southeast, period only 6 seconds, and energy at 121. The wind is moderate offshore from the west-northwest, so it’ll be clean, but again, it’s a short-period swell and the overall quality is still poor. Nothing to rearrange your week for.
Crowds can be an issue here at States Avenue, so even on those small, clean days, you might not be alone. The break is a beach and jetty setup, and it’s exposed to the southeast, which is the optimum direction. But with the swell being so inconsistent and weak, it’s just not firing.
All in all, if you’re keen, the Sunday the 13th morning session is your best bet – but don’t expect magic. The rest of the window is mostly small, weak, and not worth chasing. Forecasts can change, though, and it’s been quiet for a while, so maybe something will pop up.
Rusty.
