The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Jax Beach Pier.
Honestly, for the next couple of weeks, we’re in a dry spell. The wave energy is just not there. For the first several days, through the end of August and into early September, you’re looking at tiny, weak swell with onshore or cross-onshore winds messing things up. The combined swell energy barely breaks 50 (24 to 58), which is weak. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there. It’s a pretty flat, choppy stretch.
We finally get a little glimmer on Thursday, September 3rd, in the morning. The wind goes glassy, and we get a slight ESE swell at 0.6m (that’s about 2 ft), but it’s coming from a short 9-second period. The combined energy is still low at 66, and the waves are there but the conditions are just “very ordinary.” It’s surfable, but you won’t be telling stories about it. That’s the closest thing to a highlight, and it’s a real soft one.
There’s another glassy morning on Friday, September 4th, with a touch of offshore wind, but the swell drops back to 0.5m (2 ft). Not much to get excited about. The rest of the run into mid-September stays tiny—0.2m to 0.7m (0.7 ft to 2 ft)—with onshore wind and poor quality. The combined energy stays low, mostly in the teens or single digits. There’s no real stand-out swell on the horizon.
For a spot that’s very consistent, it’s a rare flat patch, but this stretch is a washout. Best to leave the board in the car and maybe go for a paddleboard or a kite if you’ve got one—the wind will be up.
Rusty.
