The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Got to be straight with you – the next couple of weeks around here are looking like a real desert for surf. Let's run through it.
The outlook is pretty grim. We’ve got 16 days ahead on the calendar, and right from the start, there’s just nothing doing. We’re looking at a long, dry gap with no real surf to speak of. The first recommendation, such as it is, won't pop up until the very end of the run, which is a tough pill to swallow.
From July 14th right through to the morning of the 27th, it’s all "poor surf conditions." We’re talking tiny, weak swells – heights barely reaching 2 ft, with periods as short as 3 seconds. The wave energy is laughably low for most of it, sitting in the single digits or low double-digits (6 to 42). The wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, chopping everything up, and when it does go offshore or glassy, there’s just no swell to clean up. It’s a flat spell, plain and simple.
Now, the light at the end of the tunnel, if you can call it that, shows up on Monday July 27th. Things perk up ever so slightly. We get a little more energy in the water – combined energy hits 82 on the Monday morning, and 60 in the afternoon, which is still in the "weak" range, but it’s the best we’ve got.
So, for a standout... it’s Jensen Beach (United States). On the morning of Monday the 27th, we’ll see a tiny 2 ft swell coming from the ENE with a period of 8 seconds. It’s a light cross-onshore breeze bringing a bit of chop, but it’s the most size we’ve had in a fortnight. The crowd situation can be "sometimes" busy here, but with surf this marginal, it won't be too hectic. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so that’s one less thing to worry about.
Look, it’s not going to be a classic, but if you’re desperate for a paddle and a few knee-high lumps, that’s your window. For the rest of the time, save your energy. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a tough run.
Stay patient, boys.
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.
