The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
The next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. To be honest, it’s a long stretch of tiny, weak, and messy conditions. There’s a big gap right from the start with nothing really worth paddling out for, and it stays that way for the vast majority of the period. The only day that offers a tiny glimmer of hope is Monday, September 7th, and even that’s a stretch.
For the first week, from August 31st all the way through to September 6th, it’s a write-off. We’re looking at a persistent run of small, crummy swell with cross-onshore winds chopping everything up. The local water temp is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 81°F, which is about 2°F cooler than usual, so you might feel that slight chill.
The only session that *might* get you out of the water without a total waste of time is Monday afternoon, September 7th, at Hanna Park/Mayport Poles. The swell direction is out of the ENE, lifting a tiny 3ft wave. The wind goes glassy, which is a rare treat, and that’s a massive positive. The combined energy is still weak, at just 76 (moderate wave energy). It’s surfable, but it’s ordinary. The crowd situation here can be “often” a problem, but on a day like this, probably not so much. The swell period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s weak, gutless beach-break stuff. It’s the standout, but only because everything else is a total zero.
The following week, from September 8th onward, is a sad tale. The swell drops back to 2ft or less, with periods staying short. There are a few clean windows early on the 8th with a cross-offshore breeze, and again on the 10th with a strong offshore wind, but the swell is just too small (1ft) to get excited about. The energy is pitiful, with readings as low as 24 and 42 (weak wave energy). It’s a flat spell, plain and simple. For an area like this, a blank run of this length is pretty normal when the forecast is this poor.
So, keep your board on the beach. The only day to even check is Monday, September 7th, and even then, don’t expect much.
Rusty.
