Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this is a pretty grim stretch for States Avenue (Gas Chambers). We’re looking at a solid 16-day window with hardly a whiff of decent surf. The first week and a half is basically a write-off. From Monday the 6th right through to Sunday the 19th of July, it’s a long run of “poor surf conditions” every single session. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, chopping things up. The combined wave energy stays weak, rarely climbing above 100 – a real energy drought. There’s a short period of cleaner conditions with cross-offshore winds Tuesday the 14th morning, but the swell is only 2 ft with a 8-second period – surfable but very ordinary, and I’d only give it a glance if you’re desperate for a paddle.
Now, the tail end of the period gets a touch more interesting. Saturday the 18th of July afternoon sees a jump in swell to 5 ft from the S, with a short 5-second period, but the wind is a fresh onshore at 19 mph. The combined energy hits 149, so there’s some moderate push, but it’s lumpy, messy, and honestly, with that onshore breeze and a beach/jetty setup, it looks more like a kite-surfing day than a clean paddle session. The following morning, Sunday the 19th, drops back to 3 ft with cross-shore winds, but still mediocre.
The only real standout, and I’m stretching here, is the absolute tail end of the forecast. The morning of Friday the 17th of July offers a glassy moment – 0.7 ft from the ESE with a 7-second period, and glassy wind. The combined energy is a measly 11, but it’s the cleanest window we get. For a longboard or a SUP with a tiny fin, you might find a ripple. But let’s be real – that’s not surf.
Overall, this is a blank run. Don’t hold your breath. The conditions are persistently poor, and the swell is too small and short-period to overcome the choppy wind. It’s one of those periods where the area just goes quiet. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a solid break from the water.
Rusty.
