The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the charts for the next 16 days, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. The waves are pretty much flat, and the wind is just not cooperating. We’re looking at a long, dry period here.
The first bit of surf we might see is on July 20th, but it’s not anything to get excited about. We’ve got a 4 ft swell coming from the SSW, but the period is super short, only 5 seconds, so it’s just a weak, jumbled mess. The wind is a fresh 22 mph from the south, which is cross-on and lumpy. The combined energy is weak (88). It’s basically a write-off.
That same pattern holds through the 21st and 22nd, with the swell dropping each day and the wind staying cross-on. By the 23rd, the swell is down to 2 ft, and it’s just not worth paddling out for. We see a little glimmer of clean conditions on the 23rd morning with a light cross-off breeze, but at 2 ft, it’s barely a ripple.
Honestly, from July 20th all the way through to August 4th, there is not a single moment where the surf quality is good. The waves are too small and the wind is almost always bad. The water temperature at Venice North and South Jetty is 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The only notable thing is on July 31st, we get a glassy morning with zero wind on a 1 ft WNW swell, but the energy is still just 12. It’s calm, but there’s no power.
For this spot, a blank run like this is pretty normal. Sometimes the forecasts change, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend. It’s a whole lot of flat water and bad wind.
