The Lowdown
Right, grab a coffee, sit down. Rusty here, with a look at what’s going on around our patch. Let’s be straight with you – this is one of those tough outlooks where the ocean just isn’t playing ball. I’ve scanned every day in the next couple of weeks and honestly, there isn’t a single day that I’d be excited to paddle out at Hanna Park/Mayport Poles. The whole 16-day window is basically one long, flat, or poor-quality stretch. If you’re looking for something ridable, you’re going to be waiting a long time.
For the first week, starting Wednesday the 29th of July, it’s all tiny, weak, and messy. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, and the swell is barely a ripple. There’s a bit of a tease Sunday the 2nd of August afternoon, with a pulse of 4 ft from the southeast, but the period is a terrible 5 seconds – that’s just wind chop with no power. The water temp is 84°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, but that’s the only nice thing I can say.
Into the second week, from Monday the 4th of August onward, the swell tries to pick up, but the wind just won’t cooperate. It’s onshore, mostly from the east and southeast, which kills any chance of clean waves. The swell heights do creep up to around 4 ft to 4 ft by Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th of August, and the energy gets moderate – I’m seeing numbers like 214 and 181 (combined energy of all swells directed here). But again, it’s all coming from the east-southeast with onshore winds, making for bumpy, choppy conditions. For a beach break setup like this, that’s a no-go for a decent paddle session; honestly, that kind of wind and chop looks more interesting for kite surfing than surfing.
Given that our only break, Hanna Park/Mayport Poles, a beach and pier setup, doesn’t have a single recommended surf day in the whole 16-day period, it’s a proper blank run. It’s not unusual for this area to have quiet spells like this, but it doesn’t make it any less frustrating. Forecasts can change, but for now, I’d leave the board at home.
Rusty.
