The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the Hanna Park/Mayport Poles stretch.
Alright, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The next 16 days are lookin' pretty flat and grim for this area. We’ve got a long, dry spell ahead. The first surf recommendation doesn't show up until Saturday morning, July 25th, and even then, it’s barely a whisper. Before that, from Thursday July 23rd right through Friday July 24th, we’re lookin’ at a total blank. Nothin' but wind chop and poor conditions. So, basically, don’t even bother waxing up until the weekend.
Now, Saturday morning July 25th is our one and only true standout of the entire outlook. It’s not going to be a classic, but it’s the best we’ve got. The swell is a tiny 3 ft from the ESE with a short, weak period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak at just (67). But here’s the thing – the wind goes glassy, just a slight air, so the surface will be clean. For a beach break, that’s the only way you’re gonna enjoy this dribble. The water temp is sittin' at 84°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so a springy is all you need.
Later that Saturday afternoon, the wind picks up onshore and the energy jumps to (165) – moderate energy – but it’ll be bumpy and choppy. Not worth it. Sunday July 26th morning has a clean cross-off breeze, but the wave height drops to 2 ft. You might get a knee-high roller if you’re lucky. Sunday afternoon goes glassy again with 3 ft and moderate energy (124), but the swell is still weak and short-period. It’s surfable, but only just.
After that, it’s a long, sad slide into nothing. From Monday July 27th through Wednesday August 5th, we see a few clean, glassy mornings with offshore winds, but the swell is either non-existent or so tiny it’s barely a ripple. The combined energy values are all in the single digits or low double digits – weak, weak, weak. By August 5th, we get a sniff of 2 ft from the ESE at 7 seconds, but it’s a one-off glassy moment before the wind ruins it again.
Honestly, if you’re desperate, paddle out on Saturday July 25th morning. It’s the only time the stars align – clean, glassy, and a tiny bit of swell. For the rest of this 16-day window, this stretch is a ghost town. The breaks are fairly consistent around here, so this blank run is a bit of a bummer, but forecasts can always change. Keep your eye on the charts.
Stay safe, and don't bother paddling out for whitecaps.
Rusty.
