The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Torrance Beach / Burn Out for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it’s a pretty quiet stretch. For the first few days, there’s almost nothing worth paddling out for – just tiny bumps with onshore or cross-onshore wind.
The first real chance shows up on Friday morning, the 4th of September. We’ve got a clean 0.7m SSW swell, with a long 17-second period. The wind is cross-offshore out of the SE at 15 km/h, so the surface should be nice. Combined energy is 400 (moderate wave energy), and this is the best window in the whole forecast. If you’re on a longboard or a mid-length, this is your time. Water temp is 75°, which is about 9° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, so no wetsuit needed.
After that, it drops off again. The rest of the first week and into the second is mostly small and onshore. On the 8th of September – Tuesday morning – there’s a 1.3m SSW swell with energy up at 486, but the wind is onshore out of the W at 15 km/h, so it’s messy. A real shame.
Through the second week, it’s tiny and mostly onshore. Nothing to get excited about. There’s a 0.9m swell on Monday the 14th, but it’s short-period at 7 seconds and onshore – no good.
So the standout is clear: Friday morning, 4th September. Get out there. Otherwise, it’s a long wait. The break is fairly consistent, so runs like this do happen – it’ll turn around. Keep checking.
Rusty.
