The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day picture, it’s a pretty quiet stretch. The waves are gonna be small and the conditions are mostly average to poor. You’re looking at a long gap of tiny, weak surf and onshore winds for most of the second week. There aren't any big standouts, but if you're desperate for a paddle, there are a couple of mornings where the stars might briefly align.
We start off with a blank, practically nothing happening. The first real shot is the morning of Sunday, August 16th at Hannapark/Mayport Poles (Jacksonville). The swell is a pathetic `0.3 ft` from the E with a super long period of 10 seconds, but the wind is light offshore from the W. It’ll be clean, but with that tiny combined energy of 2, you’ll be scratching for anything rideable. It’s really just a chance to sit on the water.
The next decent window is the morning of Monday, August 17th. Again, small stuff, `1 ft` from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is still weak at 23, but the wind is offshore from the W again, making it clean. It’s small and gutless, but it’s the best you can get.
Then, surprisingly, Wednesday morning, August 19th shapes up a little. We have a `2 ft` swell from the ESE, period 10 seconds, with a light offshore wind from the W. The combined energy is 61, which is still weak, but it's the highest we see for a while and the conditions are clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary, as the notes say.
After that, it's a dead zone. From Thursday, August 20th all the way through to the end of the month, it’s almost all poor surf conditions. The wind swings onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell stays tiny. There’s a morning here or there with glassy or clean conditions, but the energy is so low (often single digits) it’s not worth getting excited about. The only slight pulse to mention is Saturday morning, August 29th, where the swell bumps up to `4 ft` from the ENE with a combined energy of 110 (moderate energy), but the wind is cross-on and the period is a weak 6 seconds. It’ll be a bumpy, blown-out mess.
So, the only real “highlight” is Wednesday morning, August 19th. It’s the only session where you get a clean surface with the most energy you’ll see for the whole run. Keep your expectations low and you might get a few grovelly ones.
Bottom line: it’s a flat spell with a couple of micro-windows. If you can’t wait, the 19th is your best bet. Otherwise, leave the board in the car.
