The Lowdown
Alright, let’s put it in terms you can feel. Jupiter Inlet South Jetty is looking at a 16-day drought. No real waves, no scores worth mentioning, and the combined energy never gets above 60 (weak). It’s a tough stretch, but it’s part of the game here.
Starting Tuesday 21 July: a tiny 3ft SSE swell at 5 seconds, cross-on SE wind at 25 km/h, water temp 86°F (0.8°F above normal for the season). Choppy and flat.
Wednesday 22 July and Thursday 23 July: 2ft to 1ft swells, periods down to 4 seconds, combined energy in the teens. All poor.
Friday 24 July through Sunday 26 July: a 1.0ft to 1ft ENE swell, 8 seconds, combined energy up to 30 (still weak). Sunday morning has clean conditions with light W offshore wind at 10 km/h, and Sunday afternoon goes glassy, but the swell is just 1.0ft. Not surfable.
Monday 27 July through the end of the month and into August: 0.7ft to 2ft swells, short periods, combined energy barely above single digits. Some clean mornings, but no power.
The biggest pulse comes Monday 3 August afternoon: a 4ft SSE swell at 5 seconds, cross-on SE wind at 20 km/h, combined energy 60 (weak). Too short and choppy to be fun. Tuesday 4 August morning is glassy with 2ft SSE swell—still tiny.
From there to Wednesday 5 August, it’s all poor, flat, and choppy. No standout days. For kite surfers, the afternoon wind might offer something, but for regular surfers, it’s a total washout.
Keep the faith—these flat spells usually break.
