The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's happening at our stretch of coast. We're looking at a pretty bleak 16-day window, to be honest. There's a big fat gap at the start with nothing worth paddling out for. For most of this period, the swell is tiny, mixed with onshore or cross-shore winds, making for a real struggle session.
The only real window that catches my eye is the morning of Wednesday, the 2nd of September. That's your best shot. We're talking Sebastian Inlet-First Peak. The water's sitting at a warm 83°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
On that Wednesday morning, it's tiny, but it's clean. We've got a 2ft swell coming out of the East, and the period is a solid 11 seconds. That's a little bit of groundswell in there, giving the tiny waves a bit more shape than you'd expect. The wind is glassy, absolutely dead calm, so the surface will be like a mirror. Combined wave energy is weak at 72, so it's not going to be a day for power, just for getting wet and enjoying being out there on a glassy morning. Expect some company though; crowds are possible at this spot.
After that morning, it all falls apart. The swell drops off and the wind swings around, making things choppy and messy. We've got a few mornings of clean conditions with offshore or cross-offshore winds (like Sunday the 6th, Friday the 11th, and Wednesday the 16th), but the swell is so small it's practically non-existent, with heights around 0.7ft to 1ft. You'd be bobbing around more than surfing. The period drops to 4-5 seconds a lot of the time, which is just wind slop.
Forget the afternoons entirely. Almost every afternoon has a cross-onshore breeze, just making a mess of what little bump is there.
Look, it's a quiet stretch. There are no massive swells on the horizon, and the consistency is poor. A blank run like this, with 16 days of grim forecasts, can happen here. It won't stay like this forever, forecasts can change, but based on what I'm seeing now, I'd say give it a miss. The kite surfers might find some fun in the stronger afternoon breezes, but for a paddle surfer? It's a tough watch.
Stay patient.
Rusty.
