The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's happening in our local lineup.
Honestly, it's looking like a tough stretch. We've got a full 16 days to look at, but the first week is a total write-off. From now all the way through to at least August 25th, there's just no surf to speak of. The swell is flat, the winds are messy, and the conditions are poor. It's one of those quiet periods that happens, but things can change quick.
Our only spot in the forecast is Fort Pierce North Jetty, a mix of beach, reef, and jetty. It's very consistent at picking up swell, but right now that doesn't help much. The water's a warm 86°F, which is about 0.9°F above the norm for this time of year, so just your average warm summer water.
There's a tiny glimmer way out at the end of the window. On Wednesday, August 26th, we see a pulse of long-period swell from the East. The period is 15 seconds, which is a proper groundswell, but the combined energy is still weak at 84. That long period might make it a bit straight for the beach, but the jetty could offer a better line. The wind is onshore though, which is a bummer.
Thursday the 27th keeps that East swell with a 12-second period, and the energy bumps up to 59 in the afternoon. Still, that onshore wind is going to mess it up. Friday the 28th is more of the same: small, onshore, and choppy.
If I'm being honest, the only real chance to get wet and clean might be the mornings of the 17th and 18th of August. The swell is a joke at 0.2m, but the wind is light and offshore, so it'll be glassy. You'll need a longboard and a lot of patience. Crowds are only "sometimes" an issue here, so you'll have the place mostly to yourself.
There's no big swell to chase here. The best bet is to keep an eye on that late August pulse, but for now, it's all about waiting.
Rusty, out.
