The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a bit of a flat spell ahead for Jax Beach Pier. For the next ten days or so, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. Tiny, weak waves and a whole heap of “poor surf conditions” fill the forecast. There’s a stretch from now right through the end of August where you’d be better off doing literally anything else. You’ll see morning glass-offs with a light offshore breeze, but the swell’s just not there – we’re talking ankle-snappers around 0.3 ft to 1 ft. Afternoons get a bit more breeze but barely any more wave. It’s a long, quiet gap.
Then, as we roll into September, things start to stir. On the morning of Tuesday the 1st of September, there’s finally a little pulse of life. Offshore wind from the SSE at 6 mph should keep things clean, with some chest-high sets pushing in from the ESE. It’s only surfable, not a classic, but after a week of flatness, it’ll feel like a gift. The real standout, and the only one worth circling on the calendar, is the morning of Wednesday the 2nd of September. We’ve got a clean offshore breeze from the SW at 6 mph, and an ESE groundswell with a period around 12 seconds. That longer period means more push and shape, and the combined energy is a solid 199 – that’s moderate energy, not massive, but enough to make it the best of the lot. Expect waist-to-chest high sets. The water temp is sitting about 85°F, which is pretty standard for this time of year – no big anomaly, just your typical warm bath.
Overall, don’t hold your breath for the first week. The second week has a couple of mornings that might be worth a paddle, but nothing is firing. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it tends not to stay this flat forever.
Rusty.
