The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down.
We’re looking at Hanna Park/Mayport Poles (Florida) for the next couple of weeks, and I’ve got to be straight with you—it’s a tough stretch. We’re kicking off Friday the 14th of August, but there’s practically nothing on offer for the first week. The swell is tiny, mostly 1ft to 2ft from the ESE, and the energy is weak, reading between 14 and 55. The mornings are often glassy or offshore, but that doesn’t help when there’s barely a ripple. We get a bit of period here and there – sometimes up to 13 seconds – but the size just isn’t there. Through the middle of the week, the afternoons get cooked by a cross-onshore breeze, making things choppy. All in all, the first week is a write-off. You’re looking at a solid gap of about 10 days with no real recommendations.
Now, moving into the tail end of the 16-day window, things start to wake up. Thursday the 27th of August morning shows a glimmer of hope with 1ft ESE swell at 13 seconds, and the wind is cross-off. The energy is still weak at 69, but the clean conditions mean you could get a few little waves. But the real standout lands on Friday the 28th of August. The morning brings 3ft from the ESE with an 11-second period, clean offshore wind from the west, and the combined energy jumps to 194 (moderate). By Friday afternoon, it builds to 3ft ESE at 11 seconds, same nice offshore wind, and the energy hits 247. Saturday the 29th of August morning is the absolute pick – 4ft from the ESE at a nice long 13 seconds, cross-off breeze, and the energy cranks up to 426. That’s a solid moderate push. This swell direction (ESE) is a decent match for the spot’s optimum swell direction of NNE. The water temp is about 84°F, which is normal for this time of year. Just be aware that crowds are possible here, especially when it gets going, and Hanna Park is a fairly consistent spot overall, so it tends to have a few bodies.
The last half of the day on Saturday the 29th gets wrecked by a strong cross-onshore wind, so don’t sleep on that morning window. For experts and intermediates who are keen, that Friday afternoon through Saturday morning is the only show in town.
Other than that, the whole outlook is pretty bleak. When the surf is this flat for this long, it’s normal for this area, but it won’t stay poor forever. Forecasts can change, but for now, mark your calendar for the end of August.
