The Lowdown
Right, well, as your resident local Rusty, I've had a look at the charts, and honestly, it's a tough one. For Fort Pierce North Jetty, the outlook over the next sixteen days is pretty bleak. There's nothing that jumps out as a great surf option.
We start the period on Wednesday, 9th September, and almost straight away it's a no-go. The swell is barely a ripple, around 2ft from the NE, but the wind is a messy cross-on from the SE at 9 mph, making it choppy. You can feel the lack of energy in the water; the combined energy reading is a weak 86. Water temp is sitting at 84°, which is bang on average for this time of year.
The whole first week and into the second is a real drag. By the 13th, the swell drops to a pathetic 1ft. We get a bit of a pulse around the 15th and 16th, with the swell trying to pick up to 2ft, but the period is a shocking 5 seconds, which is just tiny wind chop, and the winds are howling onshore from the E and ENE at 12 mph. It's a mess.
There is a tiny, tiny glimmer on the 19th of September – Saturday morning. We get a flat calm, glassy morning with a dead calm wind and a tiny 1ft swell. It's still poor surf, but at least it's clean looking. That window closes fast as the wind swings onshore in the afternoon.
The only period that shows any real increase in energy comes right at the end of the window, on the 21st and 22nd of September. The swell bumps up to around 3ft from the NNE and NE, and the combined energy jumps to 154 and 167, which is moderate. But, and it's a big but, the wind stays nasty – onshore and cross-onshore at 12 to 16 mph, which will keep it lumpy. The period is a short 7-8 seconds, so there's no real grunt behind it.
Honestly, if the wind was better, that 21st and 22nd could be something, but as it stands, this is a kite-surfing setup more than a paddle-surfing one for most of the run. There's just no stand-out session here.
Rusty.
