The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got for the surf over the next couple of weeks. It’s gonna be a pretty lean run, I’ll tell ya now, so don’t get your hopes up too high.
The whole 16-day window is a tough one for paddle surfing around States Avenue (Gas Chambers). Honestly, for the vast majority of this stretch, the conditions are just poor. We’re talking tiny, short-period swell and messy onshore or cross-onshore winds. The wave energy is almost always weak, with a combined swell energy reading of just 49 or lower through the end of July and into early August. A lot of days you’re looking at a cross-on breeze mucking up what little bump there is. There’s a gap of several days with no real reason to get wet, starting almost immediately, with nothing recommendable through late July.
We get a bit of a tease around Wednesday, July 29th and Thursday, July 30th. The swell bumps up just a touch, to about 3ft from the SSE, and we finally get some offshore wind from the WNW and NNW. The wave energy climbs a bit, hitting moderate territory at 104 and 125. It’s still not much to write home about—the period is a short 7-8 seconds, so it’s a weak, lumpy little windswell rather than a proper groundswell. But if you’re desperate, the early morning sessions on Wednesday and Thursday will be the cleanest you’ll find, with a gentle offshore. It’s surfable, just very ordinary.
After that, it falls away again. The second week into August is a total write-off. Tiny surf, barely 1ft to 2ft, with the wind turning mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the south and east. The water temperature is sitting at about 74°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze waiting for a set that never comes.
If you’re into kite surfing, the afternoons with a solid 12-15 mph southerly kicking up some chop might be more interesting than trying to paddle. For a surfer, this is a long, blank stretch.
