The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. We're looking at a 16-day stretch for the Venice North and South Jetty, and I gotta level with you: it's a tough one.
From now through the whole period, we're looking at tiny, weak surf. The best we get is a pathetic 2ft on the afternoon of Monday, August 3rd, coming from the west with a short, weak 6-second period. The wave energy is barely registering at 27, which is just a whisper. The water is a warm 87°, which is about normal for this time of year.
The wind is a problem too. Most of the time it's onshore or cross-onshore, ruining what little shape there is. There are a few moments of clean conditions, like the morning of Wednesday, August 5th, with light offshore winds, but the swell is barely 0.7ft. The afternoon of Thursday, August 6th, goes glassy, but again, with a 0.7ft swell, it's just a lake.
The only real window, if you can call it that, is the morning of Saturday, August 8th. We get a tiny 2ft bump from the southeast with a 5-second period, and clean cross-offshore winds. The energy is a low 11. It's not gonna be good, but it'll be the least bad of the bunch. If you're a beginner, this is the one time you might get a ride on a foamie, but don't expect much.
After that, it's a long, drawn-out stretch of flatness. From the 9th of August all the way through the 18th, the swell disappears completely. There are multiple days with zero combined energy. The morning of Sunday, August 16th, is glassy, but there's nothing to ride. It's a frustrating run for an area that's already inconsistent.
Don't bother with the jetty. The setup is a beach/jetty mix, and with this kind of weak, short-period swell and poor wind, it's far more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. For us, it's just a long, blank run. It happens here, and forecasts can change, but for now, I'd say find another hobby for a couple of weeks.
Rusty.
