Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming up for Jupiter Inlet South Jetty.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – the next two weeks are lookin' flat, real flat. We've got a long, dry spell ahead. The first record we see kicks off on Saturday, July 11th, and from there right through to Sunday, July 26th, there's not a single day that's worth paddling out. That's a solid 16-day stretch of nothing but tiny, weak dribble. The combined swell energy is next to nothing, with most readings sitting below 30 (weak), and just a few days barely tickling the 20s. It's a tough run for this area.
The water temp is sitting at a warm 86°F with an anomaly of 1°F, so pretty average for this time of year down here.
You'll see little pulses of 1 ft to 3 ft swell from the SE and NE directions, but the period is always short – 3 to 8 seconds. That's just windswell mush, no grunt behind it. There's no standouts, no best on offer, just a whole lot of "poor surf conditions" across the board. Winds are mostly cross-on or onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. The only bright spots are a couple of glassy or clean mornings on Thursday July 16th and Friday July 17th, but with only 1.0 ft to 1 ft of swell, you'd be chasing ankle-biters.
Forget the board for a while. If you're a kiter, that Saturday afternoon July 25th with 12 mph cross-onshore winds and 2 ft messy swell might be more interesting, but for a paddle surfer, it's a blank run. Forecasts can always change, but as it stands, this stretch looks like a write-off.
Stay tuned, Rusty.

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.
