The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days are gonna be a tough watch for Satellite Beach/RCs. The swell is just tiny, barely a pulse. Combined wave energy barely cracks 60, which is weak (60). Water temps are about average for this time of year. It’s one of those stretches where you’d be better off fixing your dings or taking up fishing.
Saturday August 1st through to Sunday August 16th, we’ve got a solid run of flat or near-flat conditions. The swell height never tops 2 ft, and most of the time it’s hovering around 1.0 ft to 2 ft from the east or east-southeast. Periods are mostly short – 7 to 9 seconds – so no grunt behind it. The best part? There are some glassy or near-glassy windows, especially Tuesday afternoon August 4th with 2 ft, 7s period, and a glassed-out surface, and again on Thursday morning August 13th (1 ft, 8s) and Friday morning August 14th (1 ft, 8s) when the wind goes totally calm. Those are your most hopeful moments, but that tiny swell means it’s ankle-to-knee high at best.
Because the wave energy is so minimal and the breaks are beach-and-reef with poor surf quality flagged across every single row, I cannot point to any standout session. This is a full 16-day dry spell with no decent surf on offer. For an area that’s usually pretty consistent, this blank run is a bit of a fluke. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out.

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.
