Alright, let’s put it in feet, but the story’s the same. This 16-day run for Satellite Beach/RCs is a drought. No standout sessions, no hidden gems. Just a long, flat spell.
Starting Monday, July 6th, we’ve got tiny 1ft waves from the east and east-southeast. The period is short (8 seconds) and the combined energy is barely a whisper. The water temp is about 86°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year.
This flatness just locks in. Day after day, the swell hovers around 1 to 2ft. The wind gets clean a few mornings—like Saturday the 11th when it’s glassy, or a few days with a light offshore breeze—but there's no swell to work with. It’s like having a perfectly waxed board but no waves in sight.
The same story runs for nearly two weeks. Nothing changes. The only slight change is right at the end, around Tuesday the 21st, when the swell bumps to about 3ft from the southeast. But it’s short-period stuff (5 seconds) with a cross-onshore wind, and the energy is still weak. Still a no-go.
For a spot with this little push, the setup looks better for a kite than a surfboard. It’s a tough stretch, but in this area, a blank run like this isn't unheard of. We just have to wait for the next system.

Information about the Satellite Beach/RCs Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Satellite Beach/RCs provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Satellite Beach/RCs can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Satellite Beach/RCs surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Satellite Beach/RCs) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Satellite Beach/RCs may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
