The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the outlook for Torrey Pines State Beach. Let’s cut through it.
Look, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a quiet stretch ahead for this spot. Nothing’s lighting up the board here for the next couple of weeks. For a beach that’s exposed, you’d hope for a bit more, but the swell is just too inconsistent and weak.
Right now, on Wednesday the 29th, we’ve got a bit of pulse – a 4ft SSW groundswell with a 16-second period pushing moderate energy (757). The water’s running warm, about 76°, which is well above the norm for this time of year – almost freakishly warm. But that’s where the good news ends. It’s blowing onshore from the west at 9 mph, and the report calls it marginal. Not exactly a day to rally the crew.
From Thursday the 30th right through to about mid-August, we’re looking at a desert. Swell drops to knee-to-waist high at best, mostly 2ft to 3ft, and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore. There’s a stretch here where the combined energy is a paltry 163 to 359, which is just weak sauce. The surf quality is marked as poor for days on end, with only a few sessions flagged as "marginal" – and even those are questionable due to tide. Expect wind-bumped, choppy conditions if you’re desperate.
There’s a slight flicker around the 10th and 11th of August. We see a long-period SW swell – 20 seconds on the 10th and 18 seconds on the 11th – pushing moderate energy (379 and 591). But the wave heights are still tiny, around 2ft to 3ft. That long period will make for clean lines if the tide aligns, but it’s a long shot. The wind is offshore (W or W/NW, 6-9 mph), so the surface will be glassy, but you’ll be scratching for a wave. It’s marginal at best.
Overall, the two-week window is a dud. If you’re a beginner looking for a longboard session in ankle-snappers, any of those mornings with light offshore wind might be okay. But for a proper surf? This is the kind of forecast where you look for other hobbies.
Stay tuned, forecasts can change, but for now, save the gas.
Rusty.
