The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one for Hanna Park/Mayport Poles. We’re looking at a long, frustrating stretch of mostly onshore, choppy, and weak conditions. The water’s sitting at a warm 82°F, which is about average for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s cooperating.
The first recommendation doesn’t pop up until Monday, September 14th. That’s a gap of nearly two weeks from the start of the period with nothing worth paddling out for. From Thursday the 3rd right through to Sunday the 13th, it’s a parade of onshore winds, cross-shore chop, and tiny swell. The combined wave energy is weak, mostly under 100 (peaking at a measly 136 on Thursday the 3rd for a moment, but with poor quality). Conditions are consistently described as “poor surf conditions” with a score of 0 out of 10 all the way through. It’s a bleak stretch.
Now, on Monday the 14th, we finally get a small glimmer. The morning is glassy, with a light south wind. The swell is a weak 3 ft from the SSE, with a short period of 5 seconds, so it’s not gonna have much push. The energy is low at 56, but the glassy conditions mean the surface will be clean. The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and it earns a score of 1. It’s a tiny window, and the break is a beach/pier setup that’s exposed to the NNE, so this SSE swell isn’t ideal. This is a slim, last-resort option for the desperate.
Tuesday the 15th morning offers a small chance too, with a light offshore from the WNW, 2 ft swell from the ESE, and period of 8 seconds. The energy is 52, and the wind is clean, giving it a score of 1. But it’s still tiny, and the afternoon gets chopped up again.
Honestly, there’s no standout. No day with any real power or consistency. The best of a bad bunch is that glassy Monday morning the 14th, but it’s not something to get excited about. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a rough spell. The wind is just wrong for this stretch of coast, and the swell is too small to do much with. For a beach and pier setup like this, with these small, weak swells and poor wind, it’s more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddler. Hang in there, forecasts can change. Rusty.
