The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Jensen Beach over the next sixteen days.
Straight up, I’ve got to be honest with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with almost nothing on offer for the first two weeks. The swell energy is just too weak, the wind is messy, and the conditions are pretty ordinary. From the start of the outlook all the way through to the morning of Monday, August 17th, it’s practically a write-off. That’s a gap of about two weeks with no real surf to get excited about.
The first proper glimmer of something rideable shows up on Monday morning, the 17th of August. The wind finally swings around to a light offshore from the West, with only a slight breeze, and the waves clean up. The swell is a tiny 3 ft coming from the SE, with a short period of 5 seconds, so it’s weak and crumbly – combined energy is only 57 (weak). It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. This is beginner-friendly territory though, given the small size and clean conditions. After that, by the afternoon, the wind shifts onshore again and the window closes.
So, the only real standout in this whole forecast is that Monday morning window on the 17th of August. It’s nothing special, but if you’re a beginner looking for a small, clean wave to practice on, that’s your moment. For everyone else, it’s probably best to leave the boards in the car and wait for a better run. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
This is one of those stretches where the ocean just isn’t cooperating. It tends not to stay this poor for long, so keep an eye on the forecasts – things can change.
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.
