Table - best surf conditions forecast for Jupiter Inlet South Jetty over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get real about what's happening on our local stretch.
This is a grim one. Over the entire 16-day window, there's just nothing to get excited about. We're in a real dry spell, with tiny surf and bad wind for most of it. There's no top-tier session to aim for.
The first week, starting Tuesday July 7th, is basically a write-off. For days on end, we're looking at ankle to knee-high junk. The swell never really gets above 3 ft, and the period is short and weak. The combined swell energy is feeble, with readings like 9, 12, and 18 early on. It's all weak wind chop, not real groundswell. And the wind is stuck in the southeast, blowing cross-on or onshore, making it choppy and messy. The water temp is around 86°, which is normal for this time of year.
A few mornings go glassy or light offshore – like Monday morning July 13th and Wednesday morning July 15th – but the swell is a pathetic 0.7 ft to 1 ft. It's clean but totally flat. You can paddle around, but you won't be surfing.
The only tiny window of hope is on Friday morning, July 17th. The swell bumps up to 3 ft from the SE, with a 5-second period. The combined energy hits 34 – still weak, but it's the best number we've got. The wind is glassy. That Friday morning is your best chance, but don't expect much. It's still small and soft.
To be honest, with the onshore wind and these weak little waves at a beach and jetty setup, this forecast looks way more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
The break is fairly consistent, but it's consistently poor. Keep your wax in the bag and hope the next forecast brings something better.
Rusty.
