The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's check in on what Torrance Beach/Burn Out has cookin' for the next couple of weeks.
The water temp is about what you'd expect for the season, so no complaints there. Things are lookin' pretty lean for a while. The first session that gets me stoked is the morning of Sunday, August 30th. We've got a clean 3 ft SSW groundswell with a nice 15-second stretch between waves. The wind's light and cross-off from the SSE, keepin' the surface glassy. The combined energy is moderate at (370), which gives the waves enough grunt to be fun. It's not big, but it's a solid, clean wave for a beginner-friendly spot, and you'll probably have some company as crowds are 'often'.
But the one to really pencil in is the morning of Thursday, September 3rd. The wind is dead calm, glassy from the SE, and the forecast is for very good conditions. The swell is still that clean 3 ft from the SSW, with that long 15-second period, and the energy jumps way up to (540). That's the combination you wait for. Just a heads up: with that long period, it might stand up a bit straight on a beach break, but a glassy morning will make up for it.
The morning of Saturday, August 29th, has a small, clean cross-shore wave, but the energy is lower, and it just doesn't stack up to that 3rd. Later in the run, the mornings of September 9th and 10th are marginal with light onshore or cross-onshore breezes.
There are some big dry spells in there. Late August and early September get hammered by onshore winds and chop. The stretch from August 31st through September 2nd, and again from the 4th to the 8th, is pretty much a washout.
So, the call is: Sunday the 30th is your first serviceable window, but the absolute blue-ribbon session is that glassy dawn patrol on Thursday, September 3rd. Don't sleep on it.
Rusty, signing off.
