The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for our local stretch.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next two weeks look pretty flat and bleak. We’re staring down a long run of tiny, weak energy with no real standouts. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off, with nothing but poor surf conditions day after day. The first decent bump of energy doesn’t even show up until the very end of the second week, and even then it’s small.
The only spot on the radar is Jupiter Inlet South Jetty. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is about what you’d expect for this time of year – pretty normal.
Starting from Friday, the 24th of July, we’ve got a tiny 1ft to 2ft swell from the ENE, with a short period around 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is a measly 27 (weak energy), and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore from the ESE, making a mess of things. It’s basically a lake out there. This flat, weak pattern hangs around through the first week. We do get a few mornings with clean conditions – like Sunday the 26th with a light offshore from the W, and Monday the 27th with a cross-offshore from the SW – but the swell is so tiny (0.7ft to 1ft) it’s barely a ripple. Not worth paddling out for.
We then hit a long stretch from the 29th of July through to the 5th of August where the swell stays between 0.3ft and 0.7ft, with the combined energy dropping into single digits (8 to 14). The wind is mostly offshore or cross-offshore, keeping the water clean, but there’s just no power behind it. On the morning of the 4th of August, we get a glassy moment with the wind from the NNE, but the swell is still only 0.7ft.
The only faint glimmer comes on the 7th and 8th of August. The swell picks up a little, to 3ft and 3ft, from the SE, but the period is a short 4 to 5 seconds – that’s windswell, not groundswell. The combined energy climbs to 56 (still weak), but the wind is onshore from the E and ENE, so it’s gonna be choppy and messy. Far from ideal.
To be honest, there’s nothing here that gets me excited. The setup is so small and weak, and with onshore winds on the few days where there’s any bump, it’s looking more like a window for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The consistent offshore breezes we get don’t matter when there’s no swell to groom.
Keep your boards in the car, but don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, the ocean is taking a long nap.
Rusty.
