The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and here’s the outlook for the local area.

Honestly, for the next two weeks, it’s a flat spell for the most part. We’ve got a tiny window of little waves, and then it just runs dry. There’s no standout session here; it’s more about getting wet if you’re desperate.

Starting on Saturday the 25th, Torrance Beach/Burn Out has some small swell showing. Saturday morning there’s a bit of 2 ft SW swell with a super long 21-second period, but the wind is light and cross-shore, making it a bit of a bumpy mess. The wave energy is moderate (513). The water temp is about average for this time of year. It’s not going to be great. That afternoon goes downhill fast with onshore wind and poor conditions.

Sunday the 26th morning is the best it gets. The swell pushes up to 3 ft from the SSW, still a long 19 seconds. The wind goes light and cross-offshore, cleaning the waves right up. The wave energy is moderate (536). Combined with the clean conditions, you could have a few fun little rollers, but it’s still very small. The break is fairly consistent, but you’ll be fighting for them. Crowds are often. After that, it’s a bunch of marginal days with that small, clean morning window on Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th, same kind of swell (3 ft from the SSW) and light winds, but nothing really gets going. Wave energy stays moderate, bouncing between 597 and 580.

Then from Wednesday the 30th onward, it properly fades. The swell drops, the period gets shorter, and conditions turn poor. From the end of July right through to the start of August, you’re looking at a solid 10 days of tiny, messy, or onshore slop. Energy levels tumble below 100, just weak and disappointing. There’s a brief, very ordinary blip on Sunday the 2nd of August with a tiny 2 ft clean morning, but nothing built around it. It’s a long flat run.

Don't hold your breath on this one. Forecasts can change, but right now it’s looking like a stretch of small, clean mornings for a few days, then nothing.

Rusty.
