The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get real about what’s cooking.
Honestly, for the next 16 days, it’s pretty flat out there. The first surf recommendation isn’t until Thursday the 6th of August, and from then on, it’s a long stretch of small, messy, and mostly unrideable waves. There’s a solid 15-day gap with no real standouts. You’ll be staring at ankle-biters and onshore chop for most of the run. The only flicker of hope comes right at the very end.
The only spot with any action is Jensen Beach. It’s a beach and reef setup, fairly consistent, but it’s exposed to the swell. The water temp is about average for the time of year, no major anomalies to report.
Things start Thursday the 6th with a weak 3 ft swell from the ESE, but the period is a pathetic 4 seconds and wind is on it at 12 mph. Combined wave energy is a measly 35 – that’s barely a ripple. It’s poor surf, and that’s the story for the next week and a half. Swells hover around 2 ft to 4 ft, but the period stays short (4 to 8 seconds), and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, keeping it choppy and blown out. The combined energy never gets above 143, which is still weak. This is more kite-surfing weather than paddle surfing.
There’s a tiny moment of calm on Monday the 17th of August, with glassy conditions and a 1 ft swell, but it’s still too small to surf. The best-looking setup is on Wednesday the 19th of August. The morning shows a light offshore wind from the W at 6 mph, with a 1 ft swell from the E at 9 seconds. The combined energy is only 28, but it’s clean. That’s the one morning to maybe get a longboard or a foil out for a few tiny, clean waves. It’s not a standout, it’s just the least bad option.
Then on Friday the 21st of August, the morning shapes up with glassy conditions, a 1 ft swell from the E at 9 seconds, and combined energy of 24. It’s clean again, but still very small. If you’re desperate, that’s your window.
So, the honest take: there’s no real surf to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is a bust. The only consolation is that the final few mornings show some clean conditions, but the swell is tiny. It’s a flat spell, plain and simple.
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.
