The Lowdown
Right, let's get into this one. Looking at Torrance Beach and Burn Out... the next 16 days are pretty quiet. It’s not going to be pumping, but there's a couple of window where you might find something rideable.
The water temp is about normal for the time of year, so nothing to change your wetsuit over.
First few days are a no-go. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th are tiny and messy. Swell from the SSW, but it's barely there and the wind is all over the place. You'd be wasting your time.
Saturday the 25th morning is a tease. There's about waist-high swell (2ft) coming from the SW with a 21-second period. That's proper long period groundswell, so the waves will have some shape. The combined energy is moderate (493), so it's not heavy. Wind is light and cross-shore. For a beginner spot, that's a good size.
The best call of the whole run is clearly Sunday morning, the 26th. The swell is a touch bigger at 3ft, still from the SSW, with an 18-second period. The combined energy is moderate (534), but the wind is the hero here – a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE. That’s going to keep the faces clean and make for some fun little lines. The guidance points to *very good* surf. Expect some company, so get in early.
Mornings from Monday 27th through to Wednesday 29th are rideable. You've got 3 to 3ft of that same SSW swell with light cross or cross-off winds. The energy stays moderate (between 361 and 619). It's not special, but it's an option.
Thursday the 30th morning is another decent option. Clean with a cross-offshore wind and 3ft of swell, but the period has backed off to 16 seconds and the energy is lower (291).
From the end of July into the first week of August, it drops right off. The swell shrinks, and the combined energy falls from triple digits down to double digits (56) by the 1st of August. That’s weak. From the 2nd of August, it's mostly flat. The 2nd and 3rd have clean mornings, but the swell is tiny with a short period (6-10 seconds) – that’s just local wind chop. The rest is onshore slop.
So, the only real day to focus on is Sunday the 26th morning. That's your standout. After that, there's a long stretch of over a week with nothing to write home about. It's a quiet spell, and for this area, that happens sometimes.
