Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a 16-day window for Venice North and South Jetty, and honestly, there’s not a single session worth paddling out for. The whole run is a washout.
The entire period is plagued by tiny, weak swell and constant cross-onshore or onshore winds. The first recommendation, way back on July 6th, shows a miserable 0.7ft swell from the south with a period of just 3 seconds – that’s pure wind chop and combined energy is a pathetic 2. That sets the tone for the whole forecast. The water is a roasting 89°, which is 4° warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’d be having a warm bath with no waves.
We have a long gap of absolutely nothing from July 7th through the 8th, with zeros across the board. A few scraps of 1ft to 2ft south swell pop up from July 9th to the 12th, but the period stays short, between 4 and 5 seconds, and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. The combined energy never gets above 25, which is still flatter than a pancake. The morning of July 9th sees a clean, cross-offshore wind, but with only 1ft of swell, it’s barely a ripple.
The second week is more of the same. From July 13th onward, we see more zeros and tiny, weak pulses. The winds pick up, with a gusty 19 mph cross-onshore on July 14th making it lumpy, and the swell never gets above 2ft. Even the few moments of glassy or clean conditions, like the morning of July 17th, are paired with zero swell. There’s nothing to ride.
This is a classic summer flat spell for the area. With no consistent swell and poor wind, it’s just not happening. The jetty setup is best left alone. Keep the board in the car and check back later – forecasts can change.
Rusty.
