Fort Pierce North Jetty Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, it’s Rusty here.

Look, I’m gonna be straight with you. For the next couple of weeks, there’s basically nothing on the cards for Fort Pierce North Jetty. It’s a tough stretch, and I’d rather tell you that now than have you chase your tail down to the water for nothing. The swell just isn’t there. The waves stay small, mostly in the 0.7ft to 2ft range, and the periods are all over the shop. We won't see anything of substance at all.

The first week is a write-off. From Tuesday the 18th through to Monday the 24th, we’ve got tiny windslop and cross-shore junk. The mornings are cleaner with light offshore breezes, but there’s no push behind them. The afternoons get messy with sea breezes and the constant threat of storms. You’re looking at ankle-biters all day. It’s not worth getting wet.

The middle of the period, around Tuesday the 25th, there’s a slight bump, but it’s still poor. The swell tops out at 2ft with a period of 4 seconds. That’s just short-period junk from the SSE. A lot of whitewater and no real shape. By the end of that week and into the next, we’re stuck in the same pattern. The energy readings are consistently weak, with numbers barely climbing into the 20s and 30s (22, 27, 28) - all that tells me is there’s just no real wave energy being directed our way.

There is one morning that stands out just for the conditions, not the surf. On Saturday the 29th, we’ve got that rare glassy morning with 1ft of east swell. It will be pretty to look at, but there’s simply not enough water moving to ride anything. You might get a foam ball if you’re desperate, but it’s a skunk.

The whole 16-day window is a blank run. There are no good options. That’s just how it goes sometimes. The water temp is sitting at a very warm 86°, which is about normal for this time of year. No big anomaly.

We’re gonna have to wait this one out. Keep an eye on the charts; sometimes things can change. But as it stands, save your energy.

Rusty.
