The Lowdown
Alright folks, let's chew the fat on the next 16 days. Look, it's a rough patch. We're staring down a long, dry spell before anything resembling a wave shows up. The first real flicker of hope is on Saturday, September 19th, and even that's a whisper. That's a whole week of nothing but small, choppy, or blown-out slop.
Hanna Park/Mayport Poles is the only spot on the board, and she’s not playing nice for the first week. Winds are mostly cross-onshore, sometimes howling, keeping the surface all torn up. We get a few glassy mornings on the 13th and 14th, but the swell is puny – about 0.4m to 0.5m (1 to 2 ft) from the ESE with a short, weak period. The wave energy is pathetic, reading between 16 and 53. It's just not worth strapping in.
Then the wind really starts to blow. From Wednesday the 16th through Tuesday the 22nd, we get moderate to strong breezes from the ENE and NE, churning the ocean into a lumpy, choppy mess. The swell does build – by Monday the 21st, we're talking a solid 1.9m to 2.1m (6 to 7 ft) from the ENE/NE, with moderate wave energy reading up to 452. But it's a short-period windswell (6-7 seconds), and with those onshore winds making it choppy, it's only interesting for the kite crew, not us paddle surfers. It's poor conditions, full stop.
The one tiny window that's surfable but still very ordinary is the morning of Saturday, September 19th. We get a glassy morning with 0.6m (2 ft) of ESE swell (period a weak 6 seconds), and the wave energy is only 54. The score is a 1 out of 10. It's small, weak, and the wait for a set will be long with that short period.
Looking further out, things get bigger but dirtier. The 21st and 22nd pump with 1.9m to 2.1m (6 to 7 ft) of swell, but those winds are terrible – strong cross-onshore at 18 to 25 mph. That's expert-only territory if you can handle the mess, but honestly, it's a washing machine. Not a standout.
So, the honest truth? There's no true standout in this 16-day window. The closest we get is that glassy, tiny morning on the 19th. It's a lean run. For a spot like Hanna Park, which is fairly consistent, it's a real bummer, but these flat spells do happen. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but don't get your hopes up.
