The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight up: this 16-day stretch is a tough one for surf. The only break in the file is 13th Ave South Surfside, and honestly, it’s looking like a real skinny period. There’s no real swell to get excited about, so don't expect any proper rideable waves for the first week and a bit.
That first recommendation doesn't come until Friday morning, August 7th. That’s over a week of waiting, with hardly anything but tiny, blown-out dribble before that.
The best of a poor bunch looks to be the morning of Friday, August 7th. We’ve got a tiny 2 ft of SE swell rolling in, with a period of 7 seconds – not much power behind it, and combined energy is only 54 (weak). But the wind is glassy. That’s pure glass. For a spot that’s inconsistent and can get crowded, that’s a rare window of clean, smooth conditions on tiny waves. It’s barely surfable, but if you’re desperate for a longboard or a foamy, that’s your moment. The water temp is 84°, which is about average for the time of year.
The next little blip is the morning of Saturday, August 8th. A similar 2 ft SE swell, period up to 8 seconds, with a light cross-shore. Combined energy is 61 (still weak). Not great, but cleaner than the afternoons which get chopped out by southerly wind.
After that, it’s back to tiny, onshore rubbish. The afternoon of August 8th sees a bump in energy (165 – moderate) but with 3 ft of SE swell and a cross-onshore wind, it’ll be a messy, bumpy affair. This is really kite-surfing weather, not paddle surfing.
Don’t hold your breath for the second week either. It’s more of the same. Small, weak swells with periods of 4 to 7 seconds. The morning of August 12th offers a clean 2 ft from the SSW with a cross-offshore wind, but the period is short at 5 seconds. Combined energy is just 33. It’s a hopeful window, but not a standout.
In short, this is a blank run. The area isn’t showing anything consistent. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, you’re better off doing something else until something real shows up.
