The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be real about this one.
We’re looking at a pretty grim picture for the next 16 days. There’s a massive gap of almost two weeks with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. The first sign of any surf doesn’t show up until Tuesday the 28th of July.
That morning at Satellite Beach/RCs (Satellite-Beach) , we might see something. The water is a warm 86°, which is normal for this time of year. The swell is a tiny 2ft from the East, with a 9-second period. The combined energy is a weak 82. The wind is light offshore from the SSW, so the surface will be clean. But honestly, it’s just "surfable but very ordinary". It’s a beach and reef spot that’s very consistent, but this is barely a wave. It’s also an advanced spot, so it’s not for the faint of heart.
The next morning, Wednesday the 29th of July, is a little better with glassy conditions. The same spot has a 2ft swell from the ESE, with a glassy wind from the SW. The energy is still weak at 63. It’s clean, but it’s still a tiny wave.
For a spot that’s usually so consistent, this is a weird, quiet stretch. Keep an eye on things, forecasts can flip, but right now, I’d hang up the board for a while.
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.
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.
