The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let me be straight with you – it’s going to be a tough stretch. We’ve got a 16-day window ahead, but honestly, there’s nothing here that gets a surfer’s heart pumping. The first real chance of anything remotely rideable doesn’t show up until Saturday, August 8th, so we’re looking at a solid two-week gap with basically no surf to speak of before that.
Right now, through the end of July and into the first week of August, the swell is tiny – we’re talking 0.7ft to 2ft, mostly from the east with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak, ranging from 8 to 43 (43), so there’s just no push. The wind is all over the place, and while we get some clean spells, the waves are too small to do anything with. It’s frustrating, but it happens.
Now, let’s look at the only spot that even pops up on the radar. Lori Wilson Park (Cocoa Beach) is the only break in the game. It’s a very consistent, fairly exposed beach break, and it’s a beginner-friendly spot. The water temperature is sitting at a warm 84°F with a temperature anomaly of -0.7°F, so it’s about average for this time of year.
The one glimmer comes on Saturday, August 8th. In the morning, we’ve got a 3ft swell from the east, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy bumps up to 90 (90) – still weak, but it’s the best we’ll see. The real kicker is the wind: it’s glassy. That’s a major positive. It’ll be clean. But the swell is small, short-period, and the break is a beach, so don’t expect any power. It’s the one session to even consider, but keep your expectations on the floor. That afternoon, the wind swings onshore and the chop comes back, so that morning window is the only one.
The rest of the forecast through August 9th is more of the same: tiny, weak, and mostly choppy. This is a long, quiet period. For a beach break like this, when the swell is this small and the combined energy is barely breaking 100, it’s more of a swim than a surf. If you’re a kite surfer, you might find something on the windier afternoons, but for paddle surfing, it’s a waiting game.
Stay patient, mates. It’ll turn around eventually.
