The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
The next sixteen days at Hanna Park/Mayport Poles are looking pretty flat overall. It’s a tough run with only a couple of brief windows where you might actually get a wave worth paddling for. The first proper surfable conditions don’t show up until Thursday, September 3rd, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about. There’s a long gap of pretty much nothing early on, so don’t go clearing your schedule just yet.
The water temperature sits at a warm 82°, which is about what you’d expect for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
For the first real chance, Thursday morning, September 3rd, is your best bet in the whole outlook. The wind goes glassy, which is a huge plus, and we’ve got a small 3 ft swell from the ESE. The period is a short 9 seconds, so it’s a bit weak, but it’s surfable. The combined energy is weak (94), so you’ll be on a shortboard or a funboard, hunting for little peaks. This is the only time the wind really cooperates.
The next taste of anything comes on Wednesday, September 9th. The morning has a 3 ft ESE swell, a period of 10 seconds, and a moderate offshore wind from the WSW. The energy picks up a bit (151), so there’s a little more push. It’s clean, but it’s still ordinary. The afternoon is similar, but the swell drops to 2 ft. It’s a weekend option if you’re desperate for a paddle.
Other than that, the rest of the window is full of poor surf, onshore winds, and tiny, weak swells. The 13th of September actually shows a 5 ft spike from the ENE, but with a short 6-second period and onshore wind, it’s messy and not worth the cleanup.
Honestly, for the whole 16-day run, the standout is that glassy Thursday morning. It’s not big, it’s not powerful, but it’s the only clean shot you’ve got. The rest is a waiting game.
Rusty.
