The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a good, hard look at what's coming down the pike for our little slice of coast. Gotta be honest with you, it's going to be a tough slog for a while, but there's a glimmer of real quality if you're patient.
We're staring down a long, flat spell. From right now, Tuesday the 15th, straight through to Wednesday the 23rd of September, it’s pretty much dead. We're looking at tiny dribbles of swell, barely pushing 1 ft to 5 ft, and to make matters worse, the wind is a constant cross-onshore from the ENE or NE, blowing 9 to 19 mph. It’s just chopped-out, lumpy, and not worth paddling out for. The wave energy is weak to moderate at best. Honestly, unless you're desperate to get wet, save your energy.
Then things start to get interesting around Thursday the 24th, but only for the experts. Fort Pierce North Jetty sees a sudden jump in size. The Thursday morning session shows an 8 ft swell from the NNE, and here's the kicker – the wind goes glassy with a light S breeze at just 3 mph. The wave energy is massive, but at 8 ft, this is not for the faint of heart or beginners. That's big, powerful stuff and only for those with solid experience.
The real standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is Friday the 25th and Saturday the 26th of September. Friday morning delivers a clean 7 ft NNE swell with a light, offshore WNW wind at 9 mph. This is the cleanest, most powerful we’ve seen. Saturday is even better. We've got a 7 ft swell from the NE, but Saturday afternoon is the pick. The wind goes glassy again with a light NW breeze (3 mph). The wave energy is massive, and the report says "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." This is the one. It's a bit hefty for the average punter, but for the experienced crew at the Jetty, this will be a proper session with clean, well-shaped walls from the NE swell direction matching what the jetty wants.
It doesn’t last, though. Sunday the 27th drops off, the wind swings S and goes cross-shore, turning it into a bit of a mess. By Monday the 28th and Tuesday the 29th, we’re back into choppy, cross-onshore slop, albeit with some size. That last bit from the 29th is just messy, with 25 mph winds ruining any chance of a clean wave.
So, the bottom line: a whole lot of flat and messy to get through, but for the dedicated crew, the morning of Friday the 26th and the glassy afternoon of Saturday the 26th are the absolute best on offer. Big, clean, and powerful.
Rusty.
