The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s happening at Torrance Beach for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it’s a pretty grim stretch. The surf just isn’t lining up with any real quality. The first week is a write-off, with Thursday the 30th offering nothing but weak, cross-onshore wind swell. We’re looking at over a week of pretty ordinary conditions, with only a couple of brief moments that might be worth a paddle.
The first real hint of something rideable doesn’t show up until Sunday the 2nd of August. The morning brings a light, clean, cross-off breeze, but the swell is tiny at 1ft from the SW, carrying a moderate energy (93). It’s surfable, but don’t expect much push. The real standout, and really the only one worth planning for, is Saturday the 8th of August. That morning looks the best of the whole run. We’ll have a 2ft SSW groundswell, with a long period of 18 seconds, and a clean cross-off wind from the SSE. The wave energy is solid (216), and the setup is clean. This is a long-period swell, so it’ll be better shaped and have more energy, but it might break a bit straight on a beach break. Still, for Torrance, this is the window.
The water is a very unusual 72°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick suit at home.
After that, the following week (from the 9th of August) slides back into mediocrity. There are a few mornings with clean winds, but the swell is just too small to get excited about.
So, if you’re a beginner, the tiny 1ft to 2ft stuff is manageable, but the 3ft on Friday the 31st of July morning is still a no-go for quality. For everyone else, your best bet is the morning of Saturday the 8th of August. Keep an eye on the charts, but that’s the one to circle.
Rusty.
