The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: this is a rough stretch for surf in the area. We're looking at a long, flat period with barely a ripple to get excited about, so don't hold your breath for anything epic.
Right now, and for the foreseeable future, we're looking at a run of small, weak waves. The energy is just not there. The combined swell energy is mostly in the teens and twenties, with a rare spike barely cracking 100, and that's on Sunday the 26th of July in the afternoon hitting 117 (moderate). That might sound like something, but it's coming with a short period of 8 seconds and onshore wind, which makes for messy, blown-out conditions. Not worth the paddle.
The best chance for a surf, and I'm stretching the word "surf" here, is on the morning of Friday the 25th of July. Jax Beach Pier is showing a tiny 2ft from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is offshore from the WSW at just 3 mph, so it'll be clean. The combined energy is weak at 63. It's surfable, but "very ordinary" is the right call. It's a beginner-friendly wave at that size, but you'll be scratching for anything worthwhile.
Later in the month, on Tuesday afternoon the 28th of July, we get a repeat of that same story: 2ft from the E, with a gentle offshore breeze from the SSW. The conditions will be clean, but the energy is still weak. It's a one-star day at best.
The water temperature is running about average for the time of year, which is a small comfort, but it doesn't make up for the lack of swell.
My advice? Don't bother waxing the board for the next couple of weeks. The forecast shows a long, flat gap with nothing to recommend. The only standouts here are the few moments of clean, tiny waves, and even those are a long shot. This is a classic summer lull, and it's here to stay for a while. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, find something else to do.
Rusty.
