The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty.
Look, I'm gonna level with you straight up. For the next 16 days, starting from August 6th right through to the 21st, it is a ghost town out there at Fort Pierce North Jetty. There's nothing on offer that's worth paddling out for. The whole window is a flat spell with no real swell to speak of.
We're looking at a long stretch of nothing. From August 6th all the way through the 21st, the sets are barely cracking 2 ft high, and the swell energy is so weak it's barely registering—most of the time it's under 100, with the best it gets being a moderate 167. The wind is a constant problem, too. It's almost always onshore or cross-onshore, blowing from the ESE or SE, anywhere from 9 mph to 16 mph, just chopping up that tiny bit of sea we have.
There's a couple of mornings, like August 12th and 14th, where the wind goes glassy or light offshore with a 3 mph breeze from the SW or S. But with wave heights at just 0.7 ft, it's a millpond. There's nothing to ride. The water temperature is sitting at about 83°, which is a touch cooler than usual for this time of year, but it doesn't matter because you won't be getting wet.
Honestly, for a spot that's usually very consistent, this is a brutal run. It's so flat and weak for so long that this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing—if you even had a puff of wind, which is about all you'd get.
This is one of those blank runs you just have to wait out. Don't bother checking the forecast for a while; it's just not happening.
Rusty.
