The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m a bit gutted to say it, but the outlook is looking pretty bleak for a proper surf. We’ve got a real flat spell on the horizon. The first recommendation isn’t until the 18th of August, which means we’re looking at a solid week of nothing but small, weak, and messy conditions. The first week is basically a write-off, so don’t bother checking the cam until mid-month.
The only time we even see a flicker of life is on Tuesday morning, the 18th of August, at Hanna Park/Mayport Poles. An ESE groundswell is pushing in at 1 ft, but with a period of 16 seconds, that’s a very long-period groundswell. It’s got some energy behind it – the combined energy is sitting at 104 (moderate wave energy) – but this swell is a tricky one. Long-period swells like this can be a bit too straight-breaking for a beach setup, but if it lines up with the sandbars, it could offer up some clean lines. The wind is offshore from the WNW at 6 mph, which is a major positive. The water temp is a warm 82°, which is about average for this time of year, so a spring suit is all you’ll need.
That Tuesday morning is the only real standout, and it’s a very brief one. The rest of the 16-day window is just a mix of tiny, choppy, and onshore junk. The morning of the 23rd of August offers a glassy flat spell, and the 24th of August has a glassy 0.7 ft ESE swell, but nothing with any push. Don’t get your hopes up for the second week either; it’s just more of the same.
Stay patient, folks. It’s a tough run for Hanna Park. Sometimes you just have to wait for the next system to roll through.
Rusty.
