The Lowdown
Alright, you’re looking at a pretty bleak 16-day stretch for Satellite Beach/RCs (Florida). I’ve scanned the whole run, and honest to goodness, there’s barely a whisper of real surf. We’ve got a long, quiet gap with no proper recommendations from the start of August right through to the middle of the month. The swell is tiny and weak, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the water temperature is about average for this time of year.
The first hint of anything that might get you out of bed comes Monday morning, August 17th. We’ve got a clean, offshore wind from the west, a light breeze, and the swell is a small 3 ft from the southeast. The period is a short, weak 5 seconds, and the combined energy is still low at 64. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. The wave comment says it’s just “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so don’t get your hopes up. The afternoon turns back to a light cross-onshore, killing the session.
The only other moment that might be worth a look is Saturday morning, August 15th, with glassy conditions and a tiny 2 ft from the southeast. The period is a pathetic 4 seconds, and the energy is just 33. It’s clean, but so small it’s barely a ripple.
For the whole rest of the forecast, it’s a story of poor surf. The swell is consistently under 2 ft, the energy values are mostly in the double digits, and the wind is often onshore. The one small window of clean, offshore wind on the 17th is the only real standout, and even that’s a stretch. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your best bet, but don’t expect much.

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.
