The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Torrance Beach/Burn Out.
To be straight with you, the next week and a half is looking pretty flat and frustrating. The swell is small and the wind is mostly junk. There’s a bit of a wait before anything gets interesting.
We kick things off Friday the 14th of August with tiny 1.3ft swell from the SSW, but the wind is cross-onshore. It’s messy. That theme carries through the weekend and into the early part of the following week. The swell stays small, mostly around 1.6ft to 2.6ft, but the wind just keeps messing it up. The combined energy is weak, ranging from 241 to 393, so there’s very little push.
There are a couple of bright spots though. On Tuesday the 18th of August, the morning session looks decent. The wind goes light cross-offshore, cleaning things right up. Swell is still tiny at 1.6ft from the SSW with a 16-second period, so it’s a long-period groundswell with some shape. The combined energy is moderate at 281. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’ll be clean. Thursday the 20th of August morning offers more of the same: 1.6ft, cross-offshore wind, and clean surface. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Then we hit a long, dry gap. From Friday the 21st of August right through to the 27th of August, it’s poor. The swell drops even more, often under 1.6ft, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore with light breeze. The combined energy sinks below 200. It’s barely worth paddling out.
Now, the standout in this whole outlook is Friday the 28th of August. The swell jumps to 5.2ft from the SSW with a 14-second period. The combined energy is strong at 1106. That’s got some grunt. The wind is light cross-shore in the morning – conditions might be okay but the tide or something is flagged as questionable. It’s still by far the best window we’ve got. Saturday the 29th of August fades back to 3.9ft with a shorter 11-second period. Strong wave energy at 437, but the wind has swung light cross-onshore again. The morning is the pick if you’re keen.
Overall, it’s a slow period. Most of these days are small and onshore. If you can wait, the 28th is your day. Trust me.
