The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but in old-school numbers.
States Avenue (Gas Chambers) is looking like a bust for the next 16 days. It’s a beach and jetty spot, and it just doesn’t have much swell hitting it. The first time you could even call it surfable is on Monday morning, August 17th, and even then it’s small and just barely okay. The water temp is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, about 77°F, but that’s the only nice thing.
There’s a big gap of flatness at the start. Then on Monday the 17th, we get a 3ft wave from the SSE, with weak energy (54), and a cross-offshore wind from the WSW keeping things clean. That’s your best bet. Afternoon holds up a little at 3ft but drops back.
After that, it’s all small fry. Mostly under 2ft, energy readings mostly under 80, and winds are often onshore or cross-shore, making it choppy. On the 20th, we get a glassy flat spell in the afternoon – 0.5ft waves, no wind. Good luck.
Around the 22nd, a bit of east windswell shows to around 3ft, but the period is only 5-6 seconds, so it’s junk. Winds turn moderate cross-onshore, so it’s lumpy. Crowds are often out here, so you’ll be fighting for the few dumpy ones.
The only half-decent window is that Monday the 17th in the morning. Clean, small, but you might get a few. Nothing else comes close over the two weeks. For this area, it’s a normal quiet spell. Check back in, because forecasts can flip, but for now, I’d look at kiting if the wind suits, because paddling is a write-off.
