The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you—this stretch at States Avenue is looking pretty grim for the next couple of weeks. We've got a long, flat spell with nothing to get excited about, so let's break it down.
We're starting off with a real dud. From Wednesday the 19th right through to the end of August, the swell is tiny—mostly 0.7 ft to 2 ft—and the wind is mostly cross-off or cross-onshore, but it doesn't matter 'cause there's just no power. The combined swell energy is weak, barely cracking 40 (like 15 to 49 range) for most of it. The water's sitting at 77°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that's about the only thing that's notable.
The first real glimmer doesn't show up until Saturday the 29th of August. That morning we finally get some offshore wind from the WNW at 9 mph and a little 2 ft SE swell at 9 seconds. The energy is still weak at 73, but it's clean. The best of the whole run looks like Sunday the 30th of August morning. We're talking glassy conditions—NE wind at just 3 mph—with a 2 ft SE swell, period of 9 seconds, and wave energy at 55. It's tiny, but it'll be the most fun you'll have all week. Still, it's only for beginners or longboarders.
After that, it's back to poor conditions. The first week of September has a bit more energy—on Monday the 31st of August afternoon we see 201 in combined energy (moderate), but it's messy cross-onshore wind and the swell is a jumbled 3 ft ESE at 9 seconds. Not worth paddling out. The morning of Wednesday the 2nd of September has a clean 2 ft SE swell with 129 energy and a NNW breeze at 6 mph, but again, it's small.
Bottom line: there's no standout day here. If you're desperate, the glassy Sunday morning the 30th of August is your best bet, but don't expect much. The rest is a write-off. This is a tough run for States Avenue, but it's a consistent spot, so it won't stay flat forever.
Rusty.
