The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s heading our way.
Honestly, Torrey Pines State Beach has a pretty grim run ahead. The whole 16-day window is a struggle. For the first two weeks, from the start of August right through to the 14th, it’s just “poor surf conditions” day after day. The swell is tiny, mostly 1ft to 2ft, and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s messy. There’s nothing to get excited about at all.
The only glimmer of hope comes on Saturday, August 15th. The morning shows a bit of a pulse with a 4ft SSW swell and a 16-second period. That’s a long-period groundswell, which packs a bit more punch (combined energy is 658 – moderate). The wind is a clean onshore from the W at 9 mph, so it won’t be glassy, but it’s the biggest swell we’ve seen. That’s your best bet, but it’s still only a marginal call. Water temp is a wild 76°F, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year – a full 8° above average. That’s very unusual.
The rest of the window after that is back to the same story: small, weak, and onshore. A long, disappointing stretch. Hang in there, something will change eventually.
Stay wet,
Rusty
