The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a pretty bleak start. We're looking at a long, slow grind with very little to get excited about right through the end of August and into the first few days of September. The first real chance of anything decent doesn't show up until the morning of Wednesday, September 2nd, and even then it's just a small, glassy 1 ft wave from the east. That’s a long gap of nearly a week with nothing to recommend.
The standout event is the window around Friday, September 4th. We’ve got a moderate east swell pushing 3 ft (moderate wave energy at 294) with a 14-second period—that's some proper groundswell energy. The real kicker is the wind: a moderate offshore breeze from the west, which will groom the faces at Fort Pierce North Jetty (beach, reef and jetty) clean. This is the best it’s going to get. The swell direction from the east matches the optimum north-east direction reasonably well for this exposed spot. It’s going to be a bit of a paddler’s session, not for beginners, but for the experienced crew, that Friday morning and afternoon will be the call. Be aware that crowds are possible here.
The combined swell energy climbs from 219 to 294 during that Friday, showing a solid pulse of energy. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is about 1° warmer than the long-term average—basically normal for this time of year, a nice warm bath.
After that brief highlight, it drops back into small, messy, onshore slop for the weekend. There’s a sliver of hope on Monday morning, September 7th, with a glassy 2 ft wave from the north-east, but again, it's very ordinary. The following Tuesday morning also looks clean with a cross-offshore breeze, but it's tiny.
So, in short: the first week is a write-off. The second week is a one-day wonder. If you're keen, pencil in Friday, September 4th, for the cleanest, most energetic waves on offer.
