The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again. It’s a grim one for Satellite Beach (Satellite Beach/RCs). The next couple of weeks are looking about as exciting as a flat tire.
We’ve got a big empty gap from Tuesday morning the 25th of August, all the way through to the afternoon of Wednesday the 2nd of September. Swell heights are tiny, barely 0.3ft to 2ft, and the energy is pathetic – the combined numbers are all under 100, hitting a low of just 14. The wind is mostly on or cross-onshore, turning any ripple into a mess. The water is about 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal.
Then on Thursday morning the 3rd of September, we get a tiny pulse. It’s 2ft of east swell with an 11-second period. The combined energy is still weak at 88, so don’t expect much. The only saving grace is the wind. It’s glassy from the southwest, dead calm. That’s your one window for a clean, barely waist-high wave. It’s not a standout by any standard, just the least bad option.
The following days, Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th of September, offer similar 2ft east swell with light offshore winds in the mornings, keeping it tidy, but still too small to call it a surf.
It’s a tough run for a spot that’s usually pretty consistent. Keep the board waxed and hope the forecasts turn around.
Rusty.

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.
