The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. The next couple of weeks are a real grind for this area. It’s almost all States Avenue (Gas Chambers) and the surf just isn’t showing up. There’s a solid gap of nearly five days of nothing before we get a wave that’s even worth mentioning. Tiny swell, onshore junk – it’s a tough run.
The first chance you get is on Monday morning, August 17th. A tiny 3ft SSE swell with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is weak at 62. The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNW, so it’s glassy. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. Not worth getting excited about.
Then there’s another quiet spell until Wednesday morning, August 19th. This is the one to aim for, if you can. The swell is 2ft from the SE with a period of 11 seconds – that’s a nice long-period groundswell, so it’ll have some punch. The combined energy is moderate-low at 82. The big winner is the wind: it’s glassy, dead calm from the SSW. That means clean, smooth, peeling waves off the jetty. For a small day, it’s about as clean as it gets. Just expect crowds, it’s a popular spot.
After that, it’s back to poor conditions. Saturday morning August 22nd sees a 4ft SSW swell, but the period drops to a short 6 seconds and the wind is a moderate cross-onshore at 15 mph. The combined energy is moderate at 233, but with that wind, it’ll be lumpy and messy. Honestly, that setup looks more fun for a kite than a surfboard. The rest of the month tails off into tiny, clean but insignificant waves.
Water temp is about normal for the time of year, nothing unusual at States Avenue.
So here’s the call: if you’re itching to get wet, Wednesday morning August 19th is the only real highlight for a clean, small wave. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.
