Table - best surf conditions forecast for Satellite Beach/RCs over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Satellite Beach / RCs over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with ya – this stretch is looking flat and pretty quiet. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a struggle for us. We’ve got a real dry spell here. There’s no surf worth paddling for right now, and it stays that way for the entire forecast. The first few days through mid-July show nothing but tiny, weak waves with poor conditions. From July 10th right through to July 25th, it’s the same story: weak energy, small swell, and mostly choppy or onshore winds. You’d be hard-pressed to find a wave over 2 ft.
The water temp is sitting at 86°F with a 2°F anomaly – a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is nice for a dip but doesn’t change the surf.
There are a few mornings where the wind drops right off – like on Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th, with glassy conditions. But the swell is tiny, only about 1 ft, with weak energy. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride. Later in the period, around the 22nd and 23rd, we see a few clean mornings with offshore breezes, but again the swell height barely hits 1 ft. The energy on the 24th afternoon bumps up a bit, but it’s still small and cross-onshore, so it’s messy.
Honestly, for a spot that’s normally exposed and consistent, this is a quiet run. There are no standouts here – no real highlights. If you’re a kite surfer, the bigger winds in the afternoons might get you interested, but for a paddle surfer, you’re better off keeping the board in the car and checking back later. Forecasts change, and it won’t stay poor forever.

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.
Satellite Beach/RCs is 10 km (6 miles) from the city of Melbourne. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Melbourne. Melbourne has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
