Jensen Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer.

Well, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for Jensen Beach. The surf is gonna be tiny and blown out for most of the period. There’s no standout session, no day to circle on the calendar. It’s a real flat spell, and honestly, for a spot like this, that’s not unusual. The odd burst of clean conditions pops up late in the second week, but the swell is just too weak to get excited about.

From July 19th right through the end of the month, we’re looking at nothing but small, crumbly waves. The swell is struggling to get above 3 ft, and when it does, the wind is all wrong – mostly cross or cross-on from the SE, keeping things choppy and messy. The combined swell energy is pitiful, barely cracking 50 (46 max), so there’s just no power behind it. Even the mornings with a bit of offshore wind are only offering 1 ft waves. It’s a tough run.

The first week of August doesn’t bring any relief. The swell stays tiny, between 0.6 ft and 1.0 ft, with a bit of energy from the ENE. The wind is mostly light and cross-off, so the surface will be clean, but there’s simply not enough wave to push a log, let alone a shortboard. The combined energy is down in the teens.

So, what’s the best of a bad bunch? Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle and a clean lineup, the mornings of July 29th and 30th offer the best chance. We’ve got a light offshore breeze from the WSW and W, with clean conditions, but the swell is only 1.0 ft to 1 ft. It’s a longboard-only affair, and you’ll be scratching for any little bump. Not a stand-out, just the least bad option.

The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

This stretch is more about waiting for the next system to roll through. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, I’d say the kites are going to have more fun than the paddle crew.

Rusty.
