Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
This is a bleak one, folks. For the first week, from July 3rd to July 9th, the surf is practically non-existent. We're looking at tiny, weak waves blown out by onshore winds. You might catch a glassy morning on July 4th, but with only 1ft of swell from the ESE, there's nothing to actually ride.
The combined energy is all under 100, usually in the low 20s to 40s. It's sad. The water is a little warmer than normal at 85°, but that doesn't help the waves.
The only real window in this whole 16-day stretch hits on Friday, July 10th. Fernandina Beach Pier will finally see a little 2ft groundswell from the SE. More importantly, the morning delivers a light offshore wind from the WSW, which will clean up those weak, short-period (6 seconds) waves. The energy is still poor at 56, so the waves will be gutless and ordinary, but they'll be rideable. Expect the crowd to be out in force because it's the only game in town.
After that, from July 11th through the 18th, it's back to the same story: small, choppy junk. There are a few clean mornings here and there, like on the 11th and 18th, but the swell is so small it's not worth paddling out for. The seabreeze ruins every afternoon. It's a dead run, and to be honest, that's just the way it goes around here sometimes.
