The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you – this 16-day stretch for Jax Beach Pier is looking pretty slim. We've got a long gap of small, wind-affected waves.
The first action we see is for Thursday, September 10th, but honestly, it's not much to get excited about. We're looking at a weak 3ft swell out of the east with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 70, so it's just some small, weak lines. The morning's got a light SSE cross-off breeze, making it surfable but pretty ordinary. Water temps are at 82°, which is about average for this time of year. The afternoon sees the breeze pick up and go cross-shore, making things worse.
The next few days are a write-off. Friday the 11th is tiny and choppy, Saturday the 12th is glassy but only 2ft, and Sunday the 13th is the same story. We get a slight glimmer on Monday, September 14th with a morning glass-off from a SSW breeze and a 2ft swell. The period stretches to 9 seconds, but it's still not enough to offer anything fun. It's "surfable but very ordinary."
Honestly, from Thursday the 10th all the way through to Sunday the 20th, it's a whole lot of nothing. You're looking at waves under 3ft, most of the time with onshore or cross-shore winds messing up the surface. For a spot so exposed, this is a real bummer.
The only time we see a bump in size is on Sunday, September 20th in the afternoon, where a short-period windswell from the NE pushes up to 5ft. But the combined energy is a moderate 114, and with a strong N wind blowing cross-onshore at 9 mph, it's going to be a messy, choppy affair. Not one for your longboard.
After that, we get into Monday, September 21st and the following days. The swell stays around the 3ft mark, but the wind is cranking from the NNE at 16 mph and more, and it's onshore the whole time. Any wave shape will be blown out. By Wednesday, September 23rd, the wind is up to 22 mph with 3ft waves and moderate energy (110-119). At that point, with the onshore wind and a beach break setup, this looks a lot more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Even the glassy mornings on the 18th and 19th only offer 1ft – not enough to push you down the line.
So, the nutshell verdict? This is a blank run. No standout days, no hidden gems. The consistency is very low for this time of year. The only thing to do is keep an eye on the forecasts; it tends not to stay this flat for long, but for now, I'd save the wax.
