The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again.
Looking at the next couple of weeks for Torrance Beach, it’s a tough stretch. The swells are tiny and weak, and the wind is mostly working against us, keeping the surface choppy and messy. You’ll see a lot of poor surf conditions in the forecast. There are a few days where the energy bumps up a bit, but the wind and quality are still a letdown.
The only real window to get something clean is around the 20th of August. Thursday the 20th morning is your best bet. The wind goes light cross-offshore from the southeast at 9 mph, which will scrub the surface up nicely. The swell is still tiny, only about 2ft from the SSW, but with that clean water and the energy at 262, it’s the highlight of the whole period. It’s surfable, but you’ll be on a longboard or a funboard for sure.
The Friday the 21st morning is similar, cleaned up by the wind but even smaller at 1ft. The water temp is running much warmer than usual for August, which is a nice bonus, but the waves are slim pickings.
For the size we’ve got, a lot of this looks better for kiting than surfing. The swell just doesn't have the goods.
Keep the stick in the car and wait for a better day.
