The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough stretch for Jax Beach Pier. We're staring down a long, flat spell with barely a ripple to get excited about for the first week. The water temp is sitting right around 82°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so at least the wait will be a warm one.
The first few days are a total write-off. We've got very little swell, and what's there is weak and often blown out by onshore winds. The combined energy is way down in the low double digits, just a measly 13 on Saturday morning. It's not looking like a surf session, more like a paddle.
The pattern doesn't really change through the end of the first week. The swell stays tiny, mostly under 2ft, and the wind is a mess. Monday the 7th through Wednesday the 9th get some onshore NE wind, just making a mess of the already tiny waves. Even with the swell energy creeping up to a moderate 108 on Wednesday morning, the wind is just too poor to make it work.
We get a little glimmer of hope on the 10th of September, Thursday morning. The wind goes glassy, absolutely dead calm, but the swell is a pathetic 2ft. It's surfable, but you'd be scratching for anything. The energy is a low 46, so it's a longboard or a groveler or nothing.
The following week looks like more of the same tough luck. There's a brief window on Monday the 14th with glassy conditions again, but the swell is only 2ft. It's a tease. The real story is just how consistent the lack of surf is. The wind keeps shifting, but the swell never really shows up. The energy stays in the moderate range, peaking at 83 on the 19th, but it's always paired with a cross-onshore wind that just chops it to pieces.
The one to keep an eye on is the very end of the run. On Sunday the 20th of September, the morning looks glassy with a bit more size, 3ft from the E. The energy is a moderate 82. It's not a standout, but it's the best we've got in this whole 16-day window. It's a small, clean wave for the logs and funboards, but honestly, for a beginner-friendly spot, anything over 5ft is a bit much, and we don't even get close to that. The whole period is a flat spell.
Stick with it, the forecasts can change.
Rusty.
