The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks have got for us up the coast.
Honestly, the start is a dry spell. From now right through until late on the 21st of September, there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny – we’re talking knee-high dribble at best – and most of it comes with onshore or cross-onshore slop. A few mornings go glassy, like Monday the 14th afternoon and the morning of Sunday the 20th, but the waves are just too small to make any difference. It’s a flat run, so don’t rush to wax up.
Things finally start to show a pulse on Tuesday the 22nd of September. The swell picks up a bit, with some chest-to-shoulder high energy showing at Fort Pierce North Jetty. We’re looking at a mix of swell from the East, around 5ft to 5ft, and the period is short, around 6 to 7 seconds. The Tuesday morning is clean with light offshore wind from the West (6 mph). Tuesday afternoon gets a little tricky with a light cross-shore, but the wave energy jumps right up (525) – that’s some real push behind it. It’s not perfect, but it’s the first real sign of life. Crowds are possible here, so keep your head on a swivel. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
Wednesday the 23rd to Thursday the 24th still has some waist-high swell, around 3ft, but the wind is onshore or light cross-off. The wave energy is still moderate (368 dropping to 130), but the quality is ordinary to marginal. Thursday morning does clean up nicely with a light cross-off from the WNW, making it tidy, but the swell is dropping.
After that, from Friday the 25th onward, the swell fades back down to small, messy conditions with mostly onshore wind. The wave energy drops off to weak levels (127 down to 54). There’s nothing in the second week that stands out as a must-surf session.
So, the pick of the fortnight is Tuesday, 22nd of September. That’s your best shot. The jetty will have some juice, the morning will be clean, and you might get a couple of decent ones. Don’t expect perfection, but it's the only window where the ocean actually wakes up.
Stay patient, boys. Rusty.
