The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about Jensen Beach in proper numbers. It’s a lean run, no two ways about it.
Right from the start on Wednesday the 2nd, we’ve got glassy conditions in the morning with a 1ft east swell and a 10-second period, but the combined energy is only 40 – that’s weak. By the afternoon, the wind is onshore from the east at 15 km/h and it’s done.
Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th bring a little more size – 2ft to 2ft – but the period drops below 8 seconds, and the wind is cross or cross-onshore. Thunderstorms are hanging around too.
By the weekend, Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th, the swell falls to under 1ft, with the combined energy in the single digits. Sunday morning goes clean with a light offshore wind, but there’s no wave to surf.
Monday the 7th is the same story. Tuesday the 8th sees a bump in period to 11 seconds on a 1ft northeast swell, but the wind is onshore at 15 km/h, making it choppy.
The best pulse comes on Wednesday the 9th morning, with 3ft of northeast swell, a 9-second period, and combined energy of 125 – moderate. But the wind is cross-onshore from the ESE at 10 km/h, putting light ripples on the face. Still the best of a bad bunch.
Friday the 11th morning is glassy with a 1ft northeast swell and an 8-second period. Clean, tiny, and good for a log if you’re a beginner.
The rest of the second week – from Monday the 15th to Thursday the 17th – shows some 1ft to 2ft pulses, but the wind is onshore and the periods are short. No quality.
Water temp is warm at 85°F, and about average for this time of year. No real standouts.
Jensen Beach is a beach and reef setup, fairly consistent, but this 16-day stretch is mostly flat and wind-affected. Not a kite-surfing day either, just a bust.
Hang in there, the swell will come back.
Rusty.

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.
