The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Hanna Park/Mayport Poles.
To be brutally honest, this is a pretty grim stretch ahead. We’ve got a solid sixteen days on the calendar here, but the good stuff is almost non-existent. There’s a big gap from now until the end of the first week with nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the winds are messy, and the energy is weak. You’re looking at a long, flat, blown-out run. It’s the kind of forecast where you don't even bother waxing the board.
The only time it even sniffs being surfable is on a couple of mornings. Wednesday morning, the 28th of August, offers a bit of hope with a glassy session on a 2 ft swell from the ESE, but the period is short at 8 seconds and the combined energy is only 65 – that’s weak. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary.
Then we skip ahead more than a week. Thursday morning, the 2nd of September, is the closest we get to a stand-out. You’ve got a glassy morning with a 4 ft swell from the east, period at 6 seconds (short period windswell) and a combined energy of 181, which is moderate energy. That’s the most size you'll see, but the direction is onshore for the break’s optimum from the NNE, so it’s not going to line up well. It’s clean, but not really what this place wants to see.
Honestly, if you’re a kiter, the afternoons at the end of August and start of September with 3 ft to 4 ft of windswell and onshore wind might look more interesting than a paddle session. For a surfer, there just isn't a good window here. Water temps are about 85°, a touch warmer than average for the time of year. But that’s about the only positive.
Stay patient, folks. Sometimes it just goes flat.
