The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for the Hanna Park/Mayport Poles area. We’re looking at a long, dry spell of pretty ordinary conditions before we might see a tiny glimmer of something rideable.
The first week and a half is basically a write-off. From Monday the 7th right through to the morning of Saturday the 19th, the data is all "poor surf conditions" with scores that don't even register. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, and coming from the east-northeast with a short, weak period around 6 to 8 seconds. The combined wave energy barely gets into double digits until the 9th, and even then it’s only moderate (251) but completely ruined by onshore wind and chop. It’s a real grind. There’s a couple of glassy windows – like Thursday morning the 10th with a clean 2ft, and Monday morning the 14th with a glassy 2ft – but the swell is just too small and weak to do anything with.
Then we finally get a little pulse of hope. The morning of Saturday the 20th sees a cleaner setup with a cross-offshore breeze from the WSW and 3ft of swell from the east. The combined energy is still weak (68), but the wind is light and clean. Then Sunday afternoon the 20th, we get a proper glass-off with a 3ft east swell and light southeast wind. The water temp is about average for this time of year. These are the only two sessions in the whole 16-day window that even qualify as "surfable". It’s not going to be epic, but for a beach break at Hanna Park/Mayport Poles, if you’re desperate, that Sunday afternoon glass-off is your best bet. The swell is small, so it’s fine for all abilities, but don’t expect much push.
Beyond that, the last few days of the window fade back into small, weak, and messy conditions. It’s a pretty blank run, which can happen here. Forecasts change, so don’t bin your boards just yet.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Hanna Park/Mayport Poles can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.
