The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Torrance Beach (Torrance Beach/Burn Out) is a tough one.
Straight off the bat, we’re looking at a long stretch of nothing. From now through to the 15th of August, the surf is just not on. The swell is small, mostly around 1ft to 2ft from the SSW, and the wind is all over the place – mostly onshore or cross-onshore.
The real bright spot, the only one worth talking about, is the morning of Sunday the 16th of August. That morning we’ve got a 3ft SSW swell, and the wind is light, coming from the SSE – that’s cross-offshore. The report says it’s clean. That’s the window. The combined swell energy is a solid 366 (moderate), and with the wind tidying it up, it’ll be your best bet for a few fun, clean waves. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so that size is perfect.
Monday the 17th of August morning also looks promising. Again, 2ft from the SSW with a light SSE cross-offshore breeze. Energy is 248 (moderate). It’s another clean window, but the Sunday morning is the standout.
The water is running about 72°F, which is notably much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit.
Other than those two mornings, the rest of the forecast is a write-off with poor surf conditions and onshore winds. There’s a 10-day gap of nothing before we get to that Sunday the 16th, so maybe pick up a new board or just enjoy the beach for a while.
Rusty.
