The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ over the next couple weeks.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a flat spell for the Venice North and South Jetty area. We’ve got a solid 16-day window to work with, but the start is a real slow burn. The first week is pretty much a write-off for any decent waves.
We’re looking at Monday the 10th all the way through to around Sunday the 16th of August, and there’s just nothing doing. The swell height is mostly showing as zero or barely a ripple, with the combined swell energy sitting at pathetic numbers like 1, 2, or 4. The period is short too, mostly 2 to 5 seconds, so it’s all wind slop. The winds are a mix of cross and cross-on, nothing clean. On the 12th and 13th, we get some glassy mornings, but with zero swell, it’s just a mirror. The water temp is about 86°F, which is pretty normal for the time of year here. It’s a tough stretch.
Now, for the first standout, you gotta wait. Head to the Venice North and South Jetty on Friday the 21st of August. For the morning, we’ve got a light offshore from the NE, and then the afternoon turns into pure glass – zero wind. That’s the good news. The swell is a tiny 1ft, but it’s from the WNW with a period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy hits 9. It’s not gonna be a big day, but with those clean, offshore conditions, you might find a fun little bank to poke around on. The optimum swell direction for this spot is SSW, so this WNW swell isn't ideal, but beggars can’t be choosers. It’s the cleanest window we get.
Saturday the 22nd of August is another option worth a mention. The morning brings a nice 1ft swell from the WNW again, period of 5 seconds, and a light ESE cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is 8. It’s a similar setup to Friday, just a bit breezier in the morning. In the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and kills it, so get out there early.
The rest of the forecast after that tails off into nothing again, with blanks from Sunday the 23rd right through the end. So, your two windows are the 21st and 22nd. It’s not going to fire, but if you’re desperate for a paddle and some clean water, those are your best bets.
Stay tuned, forecasts can always change.
Rusty.
