The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the Florida forecast. We’ve got a long, dry spell ahead at Jax Beach Pier. For the first nine days, from Monday the 7th through Tuesday the 15th, it's a total washout. The waves are tiny, the wind is onshore, and it’s just not worth paddling out. A real bummer of a start.
The first little window of opportunity cracks open on Tuesday morning, September 15th. We're lookin' at a tiny 0.6 ft swell from the ESE, but the wind will be glassy and clean. The energy is very weak (55), so you're on a log or a foamie, but at least you won't be fighting the wind.
Things pick up a notch on Wednesday, September 16th. The morning session will be surfable with a clean 1.0 ft from the ENE and light offshore breeze. The afternoon sees the real jump, with the swell hitting 1 ft from the NE and energy climbing into the moderate range (260). The wind is cross-offshore, so the waves will be lined up and clean for a fun evening session.
The standout of the whole sixteen days is Monday, September 21st. By morning, we get a healthy 2 ft of east swell with moderate energy (240). The wind is light and cross-onshore, which is workable. It’s the biggest push of the whole forecast window and the only real chance for a decent wave. The water is a balmy 28°, perfectly average for this time of year, so boardshorts or a thin spring suit will do the job.
After that, it fizzles out again. It’s a lean forecast, but that Monday the 21st is your target.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
