The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be real with you – right now, we are in a flat spell. I’m looking at the whole 16-day window for the Venice North and South Jetty, and honestly, there’s hardly a bump worth paddling for. We’re talking about a long stretch from the start of the period through to the 19th of September where the surf is basically non-existent or just ankle-biters at best. It’s a tough run.
The first week is a write-off. No energy, tiny dribbles of swell, and mostly cross-onshore winds messing up what little is there. The water temp is sitting at a warm 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that doesn’t do much for the wave count. The combined wave energy is pathetic – we’re talking values of just 1 (weak energy) when there’s anything at all. Short period swells under 4 seconds, no power.
We do get a few little windows of clean conditions, like Tuesday morning the 8th with glassy conditions, but the swell is a measly 0.7 ft from the WNW and literally no energy behind it. That’s a lake, not a surf.
Forget about the 10th through the 17th. A few glassy mornings pop up on the 11th and 16th, but with zero swell height and no energy, it’s empty. If you’ve got a longboard and are desperate for a float, maybe... but honestly, it’s poor surf across the board.
The first real hint of anything comes very late in the game. On Sunday the 20th, we see a tiny pulse. Morning looks best: 1.0 ft from the S, a 4-second period, and glassy conditions. Combined energy is still weak (3), but it’s the best we get. The crowds here can be an issue, and this break is inconsistent, so don’t bank on it being perfect.
After that, Monday the 22nd shows some clean conditions with offshore winds from the ENE at 15 mph, but still no swell. The period just fizzles out.
Bottom line: there’s no standout session here. If you’re desperate, the Sunday morning of the 20th is the only sniff of a surf, but keep expectations in the dirt. It’s one of those blank runs that can happen here. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board in the car.
Rusty.
