The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about what's cookin' for Venice North and South Jetty.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one to write. We're looking at a 16-day window and to be honest, there's just not a single day where the surf is gonna be worth paddling out for. The whole run is a blank. The combined swell energy barely ever gets into double digits, peaking at a measly "46" on the morning of Saturday, August 1st, which is still just weak sauce. We're dealing with tiny, short-period windswell that never really gets its act together, mostly from the west and southwest, which is the opposite of the optimum direction for this spot.
The wind is a mess, too. For the first week, it's mainly onshore or cross-onshore from the WSW, blowing at 12 to 16 mph, just chopping everything up. It's a real bummer.
We do get a few moments of glassy conditions, like on the morning of Wednesday, August 5th, and again on Thursday, August 6th, but the problem is there's almost no swell to go with it – we're talking 0.7 ft of whitewash. The water temperature is sitting at 87°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it's not cold.
Look, a blank run like this is more common for this area than you might think. It's an inconsistent spot to begin with, and the forecasts can change, but for now, there's nothing doing. When the swell is this weak and the wind is on it, this beach and jetty setup is more interesting for the kite surfers than for us paddle surfers. Don't waste the gas.
Rusty.
