Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get real about what’s on offer for the next 16 days.
Right off the bat, I gotta say, it’s a pretty bleak stretch. We’re looking at a solid run of nothing special. The first real chance to get wet isn’t until Sunday the 5th, and even then, it’s a tough sell. The water is sitting at 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing your toes off.
The whole period is dominated by a small, long-period SSW swell, but the winds are just not cooperating. For the first week, you’ve got a constant onshore or cross-onshore breeze messing up the surface. The combined swell energy is moderate at best, hitting 448 (weak energy) on Sunday the 5th and climbing to 857 (moderate energy) by Tuesday the 7th, but it doesn’t matter when the wind is junk.
Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th are marginally better with the swell height around 2 ft to 3 ft, but it’s still onshore wind and the wave comment says “marginal surf forecast.” Honestly, for a beginner spot like Torrey Pines State Beach, that 3 ft swell with a 16-18 second period is a lot of water moving around, and the cross-onshore wind will make it a bumpy, hard-to-read paddle. It’s not worth the drive.
We hit a dead zone from Thursday the 10th right through to Sunday the 20th. The swell drops off, the wind stays onshore or cross-shore, and the energy levels fall off a cliff, down to 162 (weak energy) by Tuesday the 14th. There’s a tiny blip on Thursday the 16th with a 4 ft W swell, but the period is a short 8 seconds, and the wind is messy. That’s a close-out machine for a beach break.
There are no standouts here. Nothing screams “go.” The best you could hope for is maybe a sneaky session on the 17th or 18th if the wind goes glassy, but the forecast shows a light breeze and marginal conditions. For a beach break, that long-period swell (17-19 seconds) will just break too straight, making it a foamy paddle.
This is a classic blank run for the area. It’s going to be a long wait for a decent wave. Don't hold your breath.
Rusty.
