The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be honest, we're lookin' at a pretty lean stretch ahead for Hanna Park/Mayport Poles. We've got a long, barren run of days with weak waves and onshore wind, so don’t even bother paddling out for the first week and a half.
The good news? A real standout shows up toward the end of the forecast period, but you’ve gotta be patient. The water’s currently sitting at 84°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year—unusually comfortable for a late September morning.
So, from Monday the 14th to Tuesday the 22nd, it’s a write-off. Swell heights barely push past 3 ft, the period is short and weak, and the wind stays on it or cross-onshore. The combined wave energy stays in the low two-digit to mid three-digit range (42 to 116), which tells you all you need to know—weak, choppy junk. Not worth your time.
The only glimmer comes on Wednesday the 23rd morning, where we see a spike in energy (461) and a 5 ft swell from the ESE, but with a period of only 7 seconds, it’s still a bit messy and only gets a marginal rating. After that, it flattens out again for another couple of days.
Now, mark your calendar for Friday the 25th of September. That’s where the magic happens. The swell builds to a solid 6 ft from the NE early, then peaks at 7 ft in the afternoon—still a friendly size for intermediates. The period bumps up to 8 seconds, and combined energy jumps into the serious zone (346 then 529). But the real kicker: light offshore wind from the WSW in the morning, and by afternoon it turns glassy with a light NNW breeze. That’s the kind of clean, lined-up surf that’ll have a smile on your face. This is the best call of the whole outlook—just remember the direction is NE, and Hanna Park is exposed to NNE in the guidance, so it’s a good match.
Saturday the 26th hangs in there with a 7 ft NE groundswell (10-second period), and 921 energy, but the wind starts shifting around, making it a bit lumpy. That’s for the more experienced crew. Sunday the 27th morning pushes 8 ft from the NE, which is getting into expert-only territory, and the wind is light but onshore, so the shape could be chunky.
All in all, wait for that Friday the 25th window. The rest is either flat or blown out.
Rusty.
