The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the rundown for Fort Pierce.
It’s gonna be a lean 16 days at the North Jetty. We’re looking at a whole lot of flat, choppy nothing for most of the stretch. The wave energy is almost always weak, with combined energy readings barely climbing into double digits. Unless you enjoy sitting on a board in bumpy water, there’s not much here.
Water’s warm at 84°F, right about average for the season, so at least you’ll be comfortable while you’re waiting.
Starting Sunday the 9th, all the way through to Wednesday the 19th, it’s all poor surf. Tiny waves under 2ft, short periods, and winds mostly onshore or cross-onshore keeping things messy. On the 16th (Sunday) morning there’s a moment of glassy conditions with a 1ft E swell, but it’s so small it’s barely a ripple. Not worth suiting up.
The only day that even sniffs at being surfable is Thursday the 20th. Thursday morning brings a 1ft E swell with an 11-second period, light cross-offshore wind from the SW, and clean conditions. Combined energy is 42 – moderate, but still tiny. Thursday afternoon gets even better wind: glassy, with a 1ft E swell at 10 seconds and a combined energy of 46. This is the best of a bad lot, but it’s still small and ordinary. It’s surfable, but nothing special.
After that, Friday the 21st through Monday the 24th drops right back into poor conditions – tiny, short-period swells with crummy wind. The North Jetty is exposed and likes NE swell, but we never see that direction in this forecast.
So, the best on offer? Barely Thursday the 20th. The rest is a long, dry gap. It happens around here – not unusual, but it stings when you’re keen.
Forecasts can change, but for now, I’d hang the wetsuit up.
Rusty.
