The Lowdown
Alright, let’s run through what’s cookin’ in the next 16 days. Gotta be patient right at the start, because the first week or so has a long stretch of onshore winds and nothing really surf-worthy. It’s a waiting game.
The first real window that gets me excited is Saturday, September 19th, morning at Torrance Beach/Burn Out. Morning starts glassy – dead calm, light air from the SSW, just perfect. Wave height’s about 2 feet from the SW, but here’s the kicker: that swell’s running a very long 18-second period. That’s deep ocean groundswell, and it’ll wrap in with some real push. Combined energy is 271, solid moderate. Water temp’s 73°, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year, about 7° above normal. Crowds are a real possibility here when it cleans up.
If you miss Saturday, Sunday, September 20th, morning is almost a carbon copy. Glassy again, 2 feet of SW, 18 seconds, with even more energy at 341. That’s probably the single best-looking session in the whole run.
Monday, September 21st, morning holds up too. A touch bigger at 2 feet, same SW direction, 17 seconds, cross-off breeze from the SSE keeping it clean. Combined energy at 310.
Tuesday and Wednesday mornings the 22nd and 23rd are still workable – clean, small waist-high lines, but the energy drops off. Still good for a log or a fish.
After that, the onshore winds come back and it’s mostly drivel until the end of the outlook. So mark your calendar for those three mornings, the 19th through the 21st, especially the weekends.
And yeah, Torrance gets its share of company when it’s clean like that. Expect the lineup to be busy.
