The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. It’s gonna be a quiet couple of weeks around Jax Beach Pier, no two ways about it. The water’s warm, sittin’ right about average for this time of year at 82°, but that’s about the only thing that’s cooperating.
From Sunday the 6th all the way through Wednesday the 9th, it’s pretty grim. We’re talkin’ waves from 0.7ft to a max of about 3ft, but with the wind all over the place. Sunday morning has a tiny 0.7ft swell and a cross-off breeze, but there’s just no energy – the combined swell energy is a pathetic 8. Monday morning is glassy, but it’s only 1ft of weak, short-period ESE stuff. The whole start of the week is a total loss.
The first little window pops up on Thursday the 10th morning. The wind goes light and cross-off from the south, and the swell gets up to about 2ft from the east. The combined energy is still weak at 67, and the period is a short 7 seconds, but with the glassy conditions, it’s the cleanest the beach is gonna look for a while. Still nothin’ special, just barely rideable if you’re jonesin’.
From the 11th on, we see a pattern: mornings with light wind and tiny surf. Monday the 14th morning looks half-decent with a glassy surface and a 2ft ESE swell (period 9 seconds, combined energy 42). Again, not big, but clean enough for a log. Wednesday the 16th morning also has that glassy calm feel with 1ft on offer.
Lookin’ further out, around Thursday the 17th morning, the wind goes glassy again with the swell up to 2ft from the east, but the period is a lousy 5 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 37. That ain’t gonna make anything you’d want to paddle for.
If I had to point you to anything, the morning of Thursday the 10th of September is your best bet. That light cross-off wind will keep the surface smooth on that 2ft east swell. It’s tiny, it’s weak, but it’s the best we got. The rest of the time, you’re either gettin’ blown out or lookin’ at flat, glassy puddles.
