The Lowdown
Right folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Hanna Park/Mayport Poles is a tough one to write home about. We’re looking at a long, drawn-out period of marginal surf. There’s no real pump on the horizon, just a lot of small, mostly onshore days. The water is sitting at a warm 85°, which is running slightly warmer than usual for this time of year, so the temperature is nice but the waves are not.
The heartbreaker is the combined wave energy. For the entire stretch, the only time we see energy crack triple digits is on the afternoon of Friday, August 28th, with a reading of 148. That sounds okay until you look at what’s making it – a short-period ESE swell of just 3 ft. The problem is the afternoon wind is a cross-onshore breeze, so it’s going to be a choppy mess. Earlier that same Friday morning, we get a brief window of clean, cross-offshore conditions with a small 1 ft swell (with an energy of 50), but it’s still just small and weak. Other than that isolated morning, the entire 16-day run is a write-off. The surf just never gets its act together.
Look, for the most part, the sea state is either glassy with no height or choppy with onshore winds. There are several glassy mornings, like Tuesday 25th, Wednesday 26th, Saturday 29th, and Thursday 3rd September, but the swell never pushes past 1-1 ft. It’s flat calm, not surfable. The afternoons consistently get ruined by southeasterly sea breezes kicking up chop. Given the combined swell energy here mostly sits in the teens and twenties (18 to 54), this is very weak energy.
The only time the sets might be worth a groan and a paddle is during that Friday morning, August 28th. The wind is light and cross-off, the swell is a tiny 1 ft from the ESE at 10 seconds, so the period is decent, but the size is just pathetic. It’s clean enough for a longboard if you’re desperate, but that’s the best "standout" we’ve got, and it’s a very low bar. For everything else—especially the afternoons—save your energy. This is a kite-surfing kind of forecast if you’re into that, but for a proper paddle session, you might be better off finding a river mouth or just waiting for the next system.
Rusty.
