The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the line for us.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch for Torrance Beach/Burn Out. The water is sitting at a surprisingly warm 72° right now, which is a solid 6° above normal for this time of year, so that’s a real treat if you’re just wanting a swim, but for waves? It’s looking pretty bleak.
We start with a tiny bit of movement on Sunday afternoon, September 6th, with a 1ft swell from the SW. But the energy is weak (35) and with light rain and a cross-off breeze, it’s just not worth paddling out for. The hope is that it builds into Monday morning, September 7th, with a 3ft SSW swell hitting moderate energy (289) and a long period of 15 seconds. Problem is, the wind is gonna be onshore from the WNW at 6 mph, so it’s going to be messy. That’s a real shame because that long period would have been tasty.
We’ve got a few small windows.
Friday morning, September 11th, is actually the first time we get a decent look. The swell is 2ft from the SW, with a solid 16-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-off from the SSE at 9 mph. The combined energy is moderate (290), and the wave comment says it’s *good*. That’s our best bet in the first week, but it’s still very small. Don’t expect a hero session.
Then there’s a gap. A few days of nothing worth mentioning until Wednesday morning, September 16th. Another promising morning with a 1ft swell from the SSW, a long 18-second period, and light cross-off winds from the SSE. The energy is moderate (218) and the conditions are clean. Again, small, but it’s the best on offer for that second week.
Honestly, the standout here is Friday morning, September 11th, and maybe Wednesday morning, September 16th, but only if you’re a beginner or on a longboard. The swell is tiny, under 5ft, so it’s fine for beginners. Most everything else is either too onshore, too weak, or just plain poor. It’s a quiet spell, boys. Don’t sell your board, but maybe don’t rush to the water either.
Rusty.
