Table - best surf conditions forecast for Jupiter Inlet South Jetty over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, let's chew the fat on what's happening in our local waters. I've been glued to the charts, and it's looking like a real flat spell.
Right now the water's sitting at about 86°, pretty average for the time of year.
We've got a major dry spell on our hands. From Saturday the 11th all the way through to Friday the 24th of July, it's just a whole lot of nothing. We're talking tiny ankle-snappers at best, with the energy readings barely hitting double digits, maxing out at 31 (weak energy) that first Saturday morning. The swell might hit a paltry 2ft on a few afternoons, but that's when the wind is ruining it on the Jupiter Inlet South Jetty, turning it into a choppy mess.
When you got periods that short and swell that tiny, it's a day for the beach chair, not a surfboard.
Now, there is one little window of hope, but you gotta be patient. Check out Friday the 24th of July. We finally see something resembling a real swell trying to show up. The morning session on the 24th is our best bet across this whole 16-day outlook. We've got a 1ft swell from the NE, a solid direction for this spot, with a period of 8 seconds. Nothing to write home about period-wise, but what makes it a standout is the clean conditions with a light cross-offshore wind from the SSW. That'll put a nice, clean face on those small waves. The energy's still weak at 16, but for this stretch of flatness, it's our best shot.
The morning of Saturday the 25th is a repeat with a tiny 0.7ft swell from the NNE and clean, cross-off winds. Small, but clean.
So here's the bottom line. If you've got a kite or a paddleboard, today's your day. For the rest of us, pencil in Friday the 24th of July for the best, and really only, chance at a few clean waves at Jupiter Inlet South Jetty. It's a long way out, so keep your fingers crossed, but it's the only game in town.
Stay patient.

Information about the Jupiter Inlet South Jetty Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jupiter Inlet South Jetty provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jupiter Inlet South Jetty can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.
