The Lowdown
Righto, let’s get into it. The name’s Rusty, and I’m looking at the next couple of weeks for Satellite Beach/RCs here in the Satellite Beach area. Gotta be straight with you – this is a rough stretch. We’ve got a long, dry gap with basically nothing worth paddling out for. From now until the morning of Friday, August 7th, it’s all tiny, weak dribble. Most days are showing combined swell energy around 10–30 – that’s critically low – with waves barely reaching 1 ft. It’s flat for the most part. You’d be better off tuning the radio than waxing a board.
Finally, on the morning of Friday, August 7th, we get a little pulse. Combined swell energy jumps to 132 (moderate wave energy) with a 3 ft swell out of the ESE at a short 7 seconds. The wind is light from the WNW, keeping it clean. It’s not a standout – it’s just surfable, very ordinary. The afternoon of the 7th looks glassy with 3 ft ESE swell, but the period is still short and weak at 62 energy. That little bump is the best we’ll see, and that’s not saying much.
We then slide right back into tiny surf for the rest of the outlook.
Now, for the water temp: at the start of the run, it was sitting at a warm 84°F, about average for the time of year with a very slight negative anomaly. Nothing wild there.
So, bottom line: there’s a big dead zone for days, then one unremarkable blip on the 7th. If you’re desperate, chance that morning. Otherwise, go have a beer and wait for a proper swell.

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.
