Table - best surf conditions forecast for Royal Palms State Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Royal Palms State Beach over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s looking pretty quiet. We've got a forecast that stretches out, but there's a long gap at the start with nothing worth getting wet for. The first real whisper of anything happens on Friday the 19th, so we're talking about a solid week or so of flat or near-flat conditions before that.
This spot is a sheltered reef and point, which means it needs the right angle to really fire, and the ocean just isn't cooperating. The water is running at 69° to start, and with a 4° anomaly, that's much warmer than normal for the time of year – feels like a bath.
Let’s run through the decent options when the waiting game ends. Late on the morning of Saturday, 19 July, there’s a small pulse. You're looking at 3 ft from the SSE with a 15-second period. That long period energy will bring some shape, but it's breaking straight across the beach here, so for a point/reef, it can be a little tricky. The energy is strong though – 545 (combined swell energy). The wind is light and onshore, so it'll be a bit bumpy. It's only rated as marginal, so don't expect magic.
The next worthwhile look is on the morning of Saturday, 25 July. We get 2 ft from the SSE again, but with a shorter 12-second period and light cross-onshore breeze. The energy is up there again at 311. Still, the forecast calls it poor. It's just not clean enough.
So, what's the standout here? Honestly, there isn't a true standout. If I had to pick, I'd point you toward the morning of Saturday, 19 July. That's the biggest combined energy (545) and the most significant swell period (15sec) of the entire run, with the lightest wind. But it's still marginal. The rest of the days are a write-off – constant cross-onshore or onshore wind, small swell, and poor quality. The whole 16-day window is a struggle. For a spot that's already inconsistent, it's no surprise. The only thing the wind is good for here might be a kite session on those 16 mph afternoons, because for a paddle surfer, it's a tough beat.
Rusty, signing off.
