The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's on offer for the local stretch around Hanna Park/Mayport Poles.
Honestly, the next 16 days are looking flat. Real flat. The swell is tiny and the wind is mostly messy. We're looking at a long stretch of weak, small surf with only a few windows where it might clean up enough to be worthwhile. The combined energy readings are all well under 100, with many days sitting in the weak range, so don't expect any punch. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no wild surprises there.
The first recommendation is a real slim pick on Thursday, July 23rd. Hanna Park/Mayport Poles is showing a tiny 2ft swell from the ESE, but it's a short period 5-second wind swell and the wind is a light cross-onshore. The wave comment says "poor surf conditions" and the score backs that up. It's a "light cross-onshore with small wind ripples" situation. Honestly, not worth paddling out for.
The weekend into next week is a write-off. The swell direction is all over the shop, from ESE to S, and the period is short, 8 seconds or less. There's a brief moment on Sunday morning, July 26th, where the wind shifts to a light cross-offshore from the NW, but the swell is only 2ft. It might be clean, but there's no power. The combined energy is still weak, so it's a total weak wave. That 2ft of E swell is just a ripple.
We get a glassy morning on Monday, July 27th, with a 2ft E swell and 8-second period. The combined energy is weak. It's "glassy", but it's still tiny. You might get a few knee-high rollers if you're desperate.
The pattern continues. There are a few more mornings with clean conditions and offshore wind, like Wednesday, July 29th, and Thursday, July 30th, but the swell drops to 1ft or even less. The energy is basically non-existent. The entire first week is a bust.
The second week doesn't offer any salvation. From August 1st through to the 7th, it's the same story. A few clean mornings with tiny 1ft to 2ft swells, but the energy is pitiful. The combined energy on most days is well below 100, and often in the single digits. The wind is mostly good on the mornings, but there's simply no swell to work with. There's a brief moment on the 2nd of August with a 3ft ESE swell, but the wind is a cross-onshore, making it choppy.
There is literally no standout session in this entire 16-day window. The swell is too weak and inconsistent to do anything but leave you sitting on your board. The combined energy never gets high enough to matter, and that was on a choppy afternoon. For a beach break like this, it's a total flat spell.
If you're a kiter, there might be some interest in the afternoons when the wind picks up, but for a paddle surfer, it's a long wait. That's just how it goes sometimes.
Rusty.
