Table - best surf conditions forecast for Royal Palms State Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the table for Royal Palms State Beach over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this stretch is a sheltered reef and point setup that doesn’t see much action. The entire 16-day window is a flat spell with no real standouts. The first proper surf recommendation doesn’t come until Monday the 13th of July, and even then it’s a small, ordinary offering. Before that, from Friday the 10th right through Sunday the 12th, it’s all poor surf conditions with cross-onshore winds and small swell. Not worth paddling out for.
Come Monday the 13th of July, we finally get a bit of a window. Morning shows glassy conditions with a 2 ft swell from the SSW, period around 13 seconds. Combined wave energy is weak (159), so it’s not powerful, but the glassy surface makes it clean. Water temp is sitting at 69°F with a positive anomaly of 4°F, so noticeably warmer than usual for this time of year. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Afternoon swings onshore and chops it up again.
The rest of the week stays poor. Tuesday the 14th has a tiny 1 ft swell in the morning but onshore wind. Wednesday through Friday all show similar small, poor-quality surf with cross-onshore or onshore wind. Nothing to get excited about.
We do see a bit of a bump in size on Saturday the 25th of July, with swell reaching 3 ft from the SSE, period around 14 seconds, and combined energy jumps to moderate (509). Sounds promising, but the wind is cross-onshore and fresh at 19 mph in the afternoon, which will make it lumpy. Still poor surf conditions overall.
This break is inconsistent and rarely breaks, so a run like this isn’t surprising. The setup here, with onshore winds and small chop, might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing during most of this period.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the forecasts—things can shift.
Rusty.
