The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty coming to you from the beach. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’.
Right now, things are flat. Proper flat. We’re looking at a long stretch ahead with nothing but tiny, weak dribble. For the next week and a half, you’re looking at wave heights barely pushing 0.7 ft to 2 ft, mostly from the east, but the kicker is the quality is just not there – it’s a mix of onshore breezes and cross-shore chop that’ll only frustrate you. The combined energy is weak, with most values under 100, so there’s no grunt in the water at all. It's a real test of patience.
We do finally start to see a bit of life on Saturday the 6th of September. The Sunday morning (6th September) at Sebastian Inlet-First Peak is looking like the first real standout. We’ve got clean, glassy conditions with a light W wind at 3 mph, which is as good as it gets for your wave face. The swell is small though, only 2 ft from the east, but the period is a nice long 12 seconds. That’s groundswell energy, and it’s pushing the combined energy up to a moderate 206. It’ll be clean, lined up, and while it’s not huge, it’s the best we’ve seen. Keep in mind that long period like that can make beach breaks a bit straighter, but the jetty there will help focus it.
The next real push comes Monday the 7th of September. The morning session sees a light W breeze at 9 mph, cross-off, making for clean waves. The swell inches up to 3 ft from ENE, period holding at 11 seconds, and combined energy hits a nice solid 225. The afternoon is even better – a light SSW wind at 3 mph, cross-off, and energy jumps to 301. That’s moderate energy and the wind is your friend. This is probably your best bet for the whole outlook, just remember the Inlet can get a crowd, but it’s worth it for the clean lines.
Tuesday the 8th of September morning at First Peak also looks good with that clean WNW wind, but the afternoons after that start to get choppy again.
So, to wrap it up: sit tight through a long, quiet spell. The real action doesn't start until the weekend of the 6th and 7th of September. The Monday afternoon (7th September) is the one to circle on your calendar. It’s not a beast, but it’s clean and it’s got some push. Don’t sleep on it.
Rusty.
