Alright, let’s talk Jensen Beach. Over these next couple weeks, it’s looking like a whole lot of nothing for a good while. From Sunday the 5th through the first week and a half, you’re looking at surf that’s barely a ripple—0.2 to 0.3 feet, with onshore or cross-onshore winds making it choppy or just flat. Wave energy is weak, mostly single-digit to low double-digit values (5 to 40 range). You’re not missing anything.
Come Wednesday the 15th, things perk up just a little. The swell from the NE hits about 0.6 feet, with a period of 9 to 10 seconds—that’s groundswell. Combined energy hits 83 (moderate). The wind swings to cross-offshore from the SW, making for clean morning surf. That longer period will work best if there’s a reef or point break around, as it can straighten out on a beach break. Still, it’s small—best for beginners. Water temperature is around 85°F, about average for this time.
Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th bring even smaller waves, 0.4–0.5 feet, from the SE or S, with short period (4–8 seconds). The morning winds stay cross or cross-off, but the surf is weak. Nothing special.
Your best shot at a wave is early on Wednesday the 15th—clean, cross-off wind, and that NE swell with decent period. It’s only 0.6 feet though, so it’s a small-wave day. Crowds can show up here, so don’t count on having the place to yourself. After that, the rest of the forecast is flat or nearly flat, with glassy mornings leaving you nothing to ride. Some afternoons with the risk of thunderstorms and stronger onshore wind might be better for kite surfing than paddling.
That’s the rundown. Not much happening, but that’s how it goes sometimes around here. Forecasts can change.

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.
