The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
We’re looking at a pretty quiet run ahead, with a small window of cleaner conditions early on before things drop right off. The first decent call is Torrance Beach/Burn Out (Torrance-Beach) on Sunday morning the 26th of July. It’s not a big day, with a small 3ft swell out of the SSW, but the key here is the period – a long 19 seconds – which means real groundswell energy. The wind is light and cross-shore, keeping things clean enough to paddle out. The combined energy is moderate at 526, so don’t expect bombs, but the shape should be there on the sets. The rest of Sunday is a no-go with onshore wind.
The real standout, the one I’d circle on the calendar, is Tuesday morning, the 28th of July. We’ve got a 3ft SSW swell, still a solid 17-second period, and the wind is light and cross-offshore. That’s a recipe for clean, lined-up waves. The forecast says “very good surf conditions,” and with a moderate energy reading of 570, it’s the best energy we’ll see all week. This is your best bet for a proper session.
Wednesday morning the 29th is worth a mention too – 3ft, 16 seconds, and clean cross-offshore breezes, but it’s a step down in energy (349). After that, the swell fades hard. By Friday the 31st, the period drops to a pathetic 6 seconds and the energy crashes to 11. That’s a dead ocean.
We then hit a long, dry gap. From Saturday the 1st of August through to the end of the outlook, we’re looking at tiny, weak swells, mostly onshore or cross-on winds, and poor surf conditions. The 1st of August has a 3ft swell but it’s onshore and messy. The 2nd of August morning has a tiny 1ft clean wave, but it’s barely surfable. After that, through to the 10th of August, it’s just 1ft dribble with poor conditions. A proper blank spell.
So, for the best of a quiet period: Tuesday morning, 28th of July at Torrance Beach/Burn Out. Small but clean, with that long-period feel. Get it while you can.
