The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk inches and miles per hour. Rusty here, and the news for Satellite Beach/RCs ain’t pretty. This 16-day run starts flat and mostly stays that way. From August 10th through the 25th, we’re dealing with a long dry spell. The swell is lucky to hit 2ft for the first week, with dinky periods around 7 seconds and combined energy barely registering—all under 50 (that’s weak). Winds are mostly cross-onshore or onshore, chopping up what little is there. Around the 18th and 19th, we see a bit more energy pop up into the moderate range (106 to 134), but the waves are still only around 2ft. The morning of August 19th offers a brief glimmer: a 12-second groundswell from the east, with glassy offshore northeast wind at just 3 mph. Clean, but at 2ft, it’s barely worth paddling out for. Water temp is about normal for the season. Given the persistent small surf and choppy onshore wind, this beach-and-reef setup looks far better for kite surfing than for a proper surf. There are long gaps with zero recommendations, and sadly, that quiet pattern isn’t unusual here when the swell doesn’t come from the preferred northeast. Keep an eye out, but don’t hold your breath. Rusty 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.
