The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this outlook for the Venice North and South Jetty is a tough one to write. The whole 16-day window from the end of August through the middle of September is a write-off. There is simply nothing to get excited about. We’ve got a flat spell that locks in for the whole run.
The water’s warm though – clocked in at 88° on the 31st of August, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – but with zero swell energy, that doesn’t mean a thing for surfing.
From Monday the 31st of August right through to Monday the 14th of September, the combined energy of all swells directed here is a big fat zero for the vast majority of the days. Almost every entry is flagged as poor surf conditions. Even when a tiny, weak ripple shows up – like Friday the 4th of September with a 0.4m swell from the SSE and a short period of 4 seconds – it’s barely a bump, and the wind is cross-shore or onshore, keeping it messy.
We see a couple of glassy mornings on the 13th and 14th of September, which would be lovely, but with absolutely no swell on offer, the ocean might as well be a lake. There’s a moment on Tuesday the 15th of September morning with clean, offshore conditions from the north, but again, no swell to ride.
This is a flat and bleak 16 days for Venice. When a spot this inconsistent hits a run like this, it’s not unusual for the area, but that doesn’t make it any less frustrating. Honestly, if the wind picks up and the swell stays dead, the setup might look more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddler.
Keep the board waxed and wait for the next pulse. Forecasts can always change.
Rusty.
