The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. It’s a long stretch of flat, quiet water for Hanna Park/Mayport Poles for the first week and a half. The water temp is sitting at a normal 84°F for this time of year, so nothing out of the ordinary there. The energy is basically non-existent, with combined swell energy barely hitting double digits early on, and it stays way under 100 for days. The winds are offshore or light at times, but when the swell is only 1ft to 2ft and coming from ESE with a short period, you’re just not going to get anything worth paddling for. The few times the scores hint at anything surfable, it’s still described as very ordinary, and the afternoon sea breezes chop it up anyway. You’d be wasting your time up until late August.
There’s a gap of about 10 days of nothingness before things finally start to show some life. Then, around Thursday the 27th, there’s a tiny flicker—clean surf in the morning, with 2ft from the east at 13 seconds, and the energy picks up a bit. The afternoon actually goes glassy, with 2ft from the east at 12 seconds and a combined energy of 153. It’s surfable, but really just a tease.
The real standout kicks in on Friday the 28th. This is the one to circle. Friday morning sees 5ft of NE swell at 6 seconds, with clean offshore wind from the west. The energy jumps to 330, and it’s described as good surf conditions. Friday afternoon is even better: 5ft from the NE, period still short at 6 seconds, but glassy conditions with a light north wind and a combined energy of 398. That’s moderate energy, and with the swell direction from the northeast, it’s lining up nicely for the exposed beach and pier setup. The short period means it won’t have that groundswell punch, but it’ll be clean and fun.
Saturday the 29th keeps the momentum going. Morning has 6ft from the NE at 7 seconds, clean with a light southwesterly breeze, and energy at 381. Afternoon pushes to 7ft from the NE, still clean, with energy hitting 467. That’s solid moderate energy, and the swell is big enough to get your heart pumping, but still manageable for intermediates. Winds stay cross-offshore, so it should hold shape. The crowd situation is one to watch—this break can get busy, and with waves like this, it’ll be popular.
Sunday the 30th still has some push, with 5ft from the NE in the morning and energy at 254, but by afternoon it drops to 4ft. After that, it fades fast into the start of September, back to small and choppy.
So if you’re looking for a real session, aim for the 28th and 29th of August. That’s your window. The rest is just waiting.
