The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with ya – it's a slow start. We're looking at a real flat spell kicking things off. For the first week and a half, from now through to around the 19th of August, the swell is tiny and all over the shop. Most days you're staring at waves that are barely breaking 3 feet, with a lot of that weak, short-period wind swell. The combined energy sits in the doldrums, mostly below 50 (weak energy), so don't expect to get your blood pumping. The wind is a mixed bag too, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up what little bump there is.
The only glimmer in that first stretch is a few mornings of clean conditions. On the 12th, 13th, 16th, and 18th of August, we see some glassy or cross-offshore winds at Jensen Beach, but the swell is just too small to get excited about. It's a total washout for a solid paddle.
Now, we finally get a pulse of life around the 20th of August (Thursday). The wind swings offshore from the west, and we see a bump of swell from the NE pushing 4 ft. The combined energy climbs to 80 (still weak, but the best we've got). The offshore wind will clean it right up, making for some fun, rideable waves. This is the standout moment of the whole outlook. It's not huge, so it's a great window for the beginners and longboarders to get a few clean runners. The crowds at Jensen Beach can be an issue sometimes, so expect some company if you're out there.
After that quick burst, it fades fast. The 21st of August drops back to tiny, clean conditions, and then we're back into the doldrums for the rest of the period, with nothing but weak, onshore slop through to the 24th.
So, the call is simple: if you've got a board, mark your calendar for Thursday, the 20th of August. That's your best shot. The rest of the window is a right-off, unless you're into flat-water paddling.

Information about the Jensen Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jensen Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jensen Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jensen Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Jensen Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Jensen Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
