The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour. It’s a pretty thin outlook, to be honest. There’s a big gap at the start with nothing to ride, so don’t rush to the beach just yet.
The first sign of life comes Wednesday morning, August 19th. At Hanna Park/Mayport Poles, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell rolling in from the east. It's a long-period groundswell at 12 seconds, which would normally have us excited, but the energy is only a weak 122. The saving grace is the wind – it’s glassy, dead calm. That’s a major win for a summer morning. It’ll be clean as a whistle. The spot is fairly consistent, but expect small, workable waves. Perfect for a longboard. The water’s about average for this time of year, nothing weird.
Wednesday afternoon, that swell jumps to 4ft out of the east with the same long 12-second period, and the energy spikes to 571. That’s real juice. But the wind turns into a moderate onshore breeze from the southeast, turning it into a choppy mess. It’s only for experts, and even then, it won’t be pretty.
Next up, Tuesday morning, August 25th. Another glassy, dead calm morning, but the swell is a pathetic 2ft from the northeast with a short, weak 6-second period making it pretty gutless. It’ll be clean, but you’ll be fighting for every dribble.
That’s the lot. After the 19th, there’s a few days with light offshore winds, but the swell just isn’t there. It’s a dry spell, but it doesn’t stay this way forever in this area. Keep an eye on the forecast.
Best bet is that glassy morning on the 19th. Don’t sleep on it if you’re desperate.
Rusty.
