The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking at the next 16 days for Torrance Beach / Burn Out.
It’s mainly a flat and sloppy run. We don’t have any real standout session—most of the time it’s tiny and blown out by onshore wind. Water temp is about what you’d expect for now.
Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th are small. Monday morning sees a 1ft SW groundswell with a long 18 second interval, light cross-offshore wind, but the surf is poor (energy: 112). The afternoon goes cross. Tuesday morning is a 1ft SW groundswell with 16 seconds, clean with light cross-offshore (121 energy), but the afternoon turns cross-on and dirty.
Wednesday the 16th morning is our best option—2ft SSW groundswell with 17 seconds, clean cross-offshore wind. It’s just barely surfable with moderate energy (210). The afternoon gets choppy with onshore wind. Thursday and Friday mornings are marginal with 2ft SSW swell, light wind, but tide and conditions are questionable.
From Saturday the 19th onward, the swell stays around 2ft to 3ft from the SSW, but the wind is onshore or cross-on almost every day. A lot of poor conditions. The energy gets up into the 300s on the 20th-21st (moderate), but the onshore wind spoils it. Gaps of totally poor days are common after the first few.
So, if you want to paddle, Wednesday the 16th morning is your window: clean, 2ft, long period SSW groundswell, light wind. It’s small enough for beginners but not exactly pumping.
Otherwise, we’re in a lull. Onshore winds are messing things up, and the forecast doesn’t look exciting.
