The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a bit of a slow start. We're looking at a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions from now right through the rest of August and into the first few days of September. The waves are just tiny, mostly around 1 ft to 3 ft, with short periods and a lot of cross-onshore wind kicking up chop. You'd be hard-pressed to find a proper wave out there. The water temperature is sitting at a warm 84°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least a swim would be nice.
There is a gap of about nine days with absolutely nothing worth recommending. The first real sign of life doesn't show up until Tuesday morning, the 1st of September. The swell picks up a bit, but it's still small, and the forecast calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." The wind is glassy, though, so it will be clean. The combined energy is still weak (116). The standout, and I mean the only one worth getting excited about, is a window on the morning of Sunday, the 6th of September. That's the one to circle on the calendar. For Hanna Park/Mayport Poles, we've got a glassy morning with a clean 2 ft easterly swell. The period is a solid 10 seconds, and the combined energy is starting to build at 220 (moderate). The wind is glassy, which is a huge plus for this exposed beach/pier setup. The direction from the east is a little off from the optimum NNE, but with clean conditions and that moderate energy, it's the best we've got.
The rest of the second week looks pretty quiet again. The morning of the 7th of September is a bit of a write-off with a risk of thunderstorms and the swell dropping back down.
This is a classic case of our area being hit or miss. The forecasts can change, but for now, it's a waiting game.
Rusty.
