The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The forecast for States Avenue (Gas Chambers) is looking pretty bleak for the next week and a half.
We’re starting off with a bit of a dud. From Saturday the 8th right through to the morning of Tuesday the 18th, there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. Wave heights are tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and the swell energy is weak – the best you’ll see in that stretch is a combined energy of just 92 on Saturday morning, and it drops off real quick after that. The winds are all over the place, mostly cross-off or cross-on, but with such small, short-period swell (only 5 to 6 seconds), it’s just not going to produce any kind of rideable wave. It’s a long, flat stretch, so don’t bother checking the cam until mid-month.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday the 18th, early morning. The wind goes glassy, and we get a tiny 1 ft swell from the SE with a very long period of 17 seconds. That’s a groundswell, and it’s carrying some energy (82 combined). But here’s the thing – it’s so small and that long period will make it break straight and close out on a beach/jetty setup like this. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
The standout for the whole outlook is on Saturday the 22nd, morning. We’ve got glassy conditions, a cleaner 3 ft swell from the ESE with a solid 12-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 191. That’s moderate wave energy, and with the glassy wind, it’ll be clean. For a break that’s often crowded, this is the one to target. The swell direction is coming from the ESE, which is just a bit off the optimum SE direction, but it’s close enough to work.
Then on Sunday the 23rd, morning, we see a bump in size – 6 ft from the S, but the period is short at 7 seconds, and the energy is moderate (400). The wind is light and cross, so it might be a bit bumpy. That’s a bit too big for beginners, but could be fun for intermediates if the tide lines up.
Overall, the best session on offer is Saturday the 22nd, early. Glassy, clean, with a bit of long-period energy. Everything else is a waiting game.
