The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer around here. To be honest, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead. We’ve got a long run of tiny, ordinary waves, and nothing that really gets the heart pumping. The first few days are essentially a write-off, with barely a ripple.
Let’s start with States Avenue (Gas Chambers). It’s a beach/jetty setup, and the water’s sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 77°. The first decent surf recommendation doesn’t pop up until Friday 28 August afternoon. Even then, it’s only 3ft of swell from the SSE with a short period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is just 85 (weak). The wind goes glassy, so it’ll be clean, but it’s surfable waves in very ordinary conditions – not something to get excited about.
Then we’ve got a massive gap. From Saturday 29 August right through to Monday 31 August, it’s all poor surf conditions with tiny heights and messy winds. Tuesday 1 September morning sees a return of 1ft from the SE, but with a long period of 15 seconds. That’s a groundswell, but it’s so small it’s barely breaking. Combined energy is only 69 (weak). Still, it’s clean with a light cross-off breeze.
Wednesday 2 September morning is the closest thing to a standout in this whole outlook. The swell is still only 1ft from the SE, but the period is 12 seconds, and the wind is glassy – dead calm. That means the surface will be like a mirror. Combined energy is 61 (weak). It’s still just surfable waves in very ordinary conditions, but for a glassy session on a tiny wave, it might be the best you’ll get.
After that, it’s back to poor surf. Thursday 3 September through to Monday 7 September is all cross-on winds and choppy conditions, with swell barely scratching 2ft. You’ll see a few days with offshore winds in the second week, like Wednesday 9 September with 2ft from the S and a gentle offshore, but the period is a pathetic 4-5 seconds, and the energy is only 33-36 (weak). That’s windswell, not really worth paddling out for.
Overall, there’s nothing here that qualifies as a true standout. The best bet is that glassy Wednesday 2 September morning session, but don’t expect much. If you’re desperate, you might get a few small, clean waves then. Otherwise, it’s a long, quiet 16 days.
