Table - best surf conditions forecast for Jensen Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you—this 16-day window is a tough one for Jensen Beach. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor conditions, so don't get your hopes up.
The first week is pretty much a write-off. From Friday the 10th right through to Tuesday the 14th, it’s all poor surf. The combined energy is weak, barely cracking 50 (37 to 51), and the swell is tiny—mostly 0.7ft to 2ft from the SSE or SE. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. There’s no real swell to work with, and the period is short, around 4 to 5 seconds, so it’s just wind slop. Not worth paddling out for.
The first hint of something better comes on Wednesday morning, July 15th. We get a 3ft NE swell with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy bumps up to 73. The wind turns cross-offshore from the NW, which will clean it up nicely. The wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and it scores a 1 out of 10, so it’s not a standout, but it’s the best we’ve got. Jensen Beach is a beach and reef break, fairly consistent, and for a beginner spot, a 3ft NE swell is small and manageable. The optimum swell direction is NE, so that lines up well. Be aware, crowds are sometimes an issue here.
Thursday morning, July 16th, also offers a similar window with a 2ft NE swell, cross-offshore wind from the WNW, and a combined energy of 56. Clean, but still small and ordinary.
After that, it drops back into the doldrums. From Friday the 17th through to Saturday the 25th, the swell stays tiny, under 2ft, with weak energy (mostly under 30). The wind is mostly cross-shore or cross-onshore, so the surf stays poor. There’s a glassy moment on Friday morning the 17th with a 1ft NE swell, but it’s still tiny and weak (29 combined energy).
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Best bet: If you're desperate, hit the Wednesday morning (July 15th) or Thursday morning (July 16th) sessions for the cleanest, most lined-up waves, even if they are small. For the rest of the period, leave the board at home.
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.
