The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s take a look at what’s happening on our stretch of coast over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet, frustrating picture overall. There’s no real, decent surf on the table at all, just small, weak, often messy waves. We’ll be waiting a while before things even look remotely interesting. There’s a long gap of nothing worth mentioning for the first several days. The first sniff of something that might get you in the water is only around the early morning of September 3rd.
For Hanna Park/Mayport Poles, this whole report is about the waiting game. The first potential window is Thursday morning, September 3rd. It’s only a tiny 2 ft swell from the ESE with a short period of 9 seconds, so not a lot of push. The combined swell energy is weak at (33). The real positive is the wind – it’s glassy. That means the surface will be clean, even if the waves are weak. The water is 82°, which is within normal range for this time of year. If you’re desperate for a log or a soft top, that’s your moment. But it’s just surfable, nothing more.
Later in the second week, the early morning of September 10th offers a similar deal: a glassy 2 ft wave from the E with a period of 10 seconds. The energy is still weak (51). Then, Saturday September 12th morning also has a clean 1 ft ESE swell. These are the only real, barely-there standouts. The only spot we've got is fairly consistent, but the surf quality is just not there. For this area, a long, flat run like this is more normal than abnormal.
A lot of the time, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, turning even that tiny knee-high slop into chop. It’s a test of patience. Forecasts can always change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.
