Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s look at what Satellite Beach has cooking for us.
Straight up, it’s a rough run. The whole 16-day forecast is a flat, frustrating stretch with nothing worth paddling out for. Every single report is calling it poor surf. The water’s sitting at 86°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year at Satellite Beach/RCs.
Starting now on Saturday morning, we’ve got a tiny 1ft swell out of the ESE, but it’s blown out by a light cross-onshore breeze from the SSE at 5 km/h. Not a chance. Saturday afternoon bumps up to 2ft, but with a 15 km/h cross-onshore and a risk of thunderstorms, it’s a complete mess.
Sunday the 12th morning gives us a clean look with a light 10 km/h offshore wind from the WSW, but the swell is barely ankle-high at 1ft. The wave energy is pathetic, sitting at (21) or lower most of the time.
We go through the whole first week and into the second with the same story: tiny swell, mostly ESE or E, with a short period of 7 to 9 seconds. The afternoon winds – often 12 mph or more from the SSE or SE – just chop it to bits. There are a couple of glassy moments, like Wednesday the 15th morning and Friday the 17th morning with 0.6-1ft and no wind, but there’s zero push. The combined energy barely hits triple digits once.
I can’t point to a single standout in the whole 16 days. We’re looking at a 16-day flat spell, plain and simple. Leave the board at home. Hopefully the charts shift.
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.
