The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. Looking at the whole 16-day window for States Avenue (Gas Chambers), it’s a pretty bleak stretch. There are no real standouts, and the surf is almost non-existent for nearly the entire period. We’re looking at a long gap with nothing to get excited about until the very end of the run.
The water temperature is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s about the only highlight.
We start on Saturday afternoon, August 29th, with tiny 1ft SE swell and a weak 8-second period. The combined energy is a measly 25, so there’s basically no power. A light onshore breeze makes it even less appealing. This is a no-go. Sunday the 30th is even worse, with a stronger cross-shore wind chopping up the 1ft swell. Monday and Tuesday follow the same pattern – tiny, weak, and messy. The swell drops to 0.3ft on Tuesday morning with a 15-second period, but that’s just a long-period lull with no size to back it up.
Wednesday the 2nd of September sees a slight bump in size to 2ft, but the period is still short (10-11 seconds) and the winds are cross and cross-on. The energy climbs to 84, but it’s still weak. The rest of the first week and into the second week is a total write-off, with swells between 0.7ft and 2ft, poor conditions, and constant wind issues.
The only hint of life comes on Saturday, September 12th, in the afternoon. We get a 4ft NE swell with a short 6-second period. The combined energy hits 128, which is moderate, but it’s a messy, short-period swell. The wind is offshore from the WNW, so it will be clean. The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” which is about right. It’s the only time in the whole 16 days where you might find a knee-high wave that’s not completely blown out. Sunday the 13th drops back to 2ft, and it’s over.
There’s nothing here for beginners or experts. The swell is too small and weak for anyone. This is a classic case of a blank run. The forecast can change, but for now, you’re better off finding something else to do.
Rusty.
