Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me tell you how it's looking for the next couple of weeks.

First off, I gotta be straight with you: the surf situation is pretty grim for the foreseeable future. We're looking at a long stretch of flat, weak waves at Jupiter Inlet South Jetty (Jupiter-Inlet-South-Jetty). The water temperature is sitting at 85°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least a dip in the ocean won't be a shock.

From the very start, on Saturday, July 4th, we've got a tiny 1 ft swell from the NE with a short period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly (18). That's barely a ripple, and with a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-onshore wind, it's a day to leave the board in the car.

The whole first week, right through to the end of Friday, July 10th, is a washout. The swell never gets above 4 ft, and when it does push a little energy on the 10th (98), it's still a messy, short-period SE windswell with a cross-onshore breeze. The wave comment for every single session reads "poor surf conditions," and it's all scoring a zero. Honestly, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing with these choppy, onshore conditions.

We get a tiny glimmer of hope on the morning of Saturday, July 11th. The wind goes glassy, and the swell is a clean 3 ft from the SE, but the period is still a weak 5 seconds. It'll be clean, but don't expect any push. It's the closest thing to a highlight in this whole outlook, but it's a quiet one. The crowds are likely to be there on the sand, but probably not in the water.

After that, it's back to the same old story. From Sunday, July 12th, all the way through to Sunday, July 19th, it's a steady diet of tiny swell, onshore or cross-onshore winds, and "poor surf conditions." The swell is mostly from the SE and E, rarely topping 2 ft, and the energy is weak. The afternoons are almost always a risk of thunderstorms.

So, to sum it up: there's not a single standout session in the 16-day window. The best you can hope for is a clean, glassy morning on Saturday, July 11th, with knee-high dribblers. It's a blank run, and for this area, that's not uncommon when the summer pattern sets in. Keep your eyes on the forecasts, because things can change, but for now, it's a long wait.

Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Jupiter Inlet South Jetty can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jupiter Inlet South Jetty 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 (Jupiter Inlet South Jetty) 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 Jupiter Inlet South Jetty 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.
