The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s lined up for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, for the first week, it’s a bit of a slow grind. There’s nothing really worth paddling out for until we get into the second week. From Friday the 7th through to Thursday the 21st of August, the conditions are mostly poor – a lot of onshore and cross-onshore wind messing things up. The swell is tiny, around 1 ft to 2 ft, and the energy is weak to moderate at best (140 to 299). The wave period is all over the place, but mostly short, so not much push. You’re better off doing something else.
But hold on. The morning of Saturday the 15th of August is where it finally gets interesting at Torrance Beach/Burn Out. We’ve got a bit of a pulse coming in – 3 ft from the SSW. The combined energy bumps up to 380 (moderate), which is the most we’ve seen in this forecast. The real kicker is the wind: a light breeze from the SSE, which is cross-offshore. That’s going to clean things up nicely. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. This is a fairly consistent spot, but it does get crowded often, so get there early if you want a clean one. The 16-second period is a long-period groundswell, which means better shaped waves but longer lulls between sets. It’s a beginner-friendly break, so that 3 ft is perfect for learning.
Sunday morning the 16th is a close second – same 3 ft swell, moderate energy (391), but the wind is a light cross-on from the SW, so it won’t be as clean as Saturday. It’s still worth a look if you miss the Saturday window.
The rest of the second week fades again. Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th mornings are marginal, but the wind is not cooperating. The long-range stuff on the 21st and 22nd is promising on paper, but it’s too far out to get excited about. The forecast can change.
So, bottom line: clear your calendar for Saturday morning, August 15th. That’s the standout. Everything else is a write-off until then.
Rusty.
