The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for our local stretch.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough start. For the next week and a half, we're looking at a real flat spell. The swell energy is just gutless, barely registering in the double digits, and that's being kind. There's a solid chunk of days from the 8th all the way through to the 18th of August where the waves are just too small and weak to even bother with. You'll be chasing ankle-biters, and the wind is mostly a mess, either cross or cross-on, just chopping up what little is there. You could paddle out for a sunrise session on the 11th or the 13th when it's glassy, but you'd be doing it for the peace and quiet, not the ride.
Things start to show a tiny pulse of life around the 19th of August. It's not a classic, but the energy finally climbs up to a moderate level, and with a 13-second period from the east, there's a bit more push behind it. The morning of the 19th sees a light south wind, keeping it clean. The swell is only about 2ft, so it's a longboard or a foamie kind of day, but it's the first time we've got a real chance at a wave. The Wednesday morning glass-off on the 20th and the Friday morning on the 21st are similar – small, clean, and surfable, but nothing to write home about.
The real standout, and I mean the one light in the darkness, looks like the morning of the 23rd of August. We've got a solid 2ft of east swell, and the period has stretched out to a nice 12 seconds. That's proper groundswell energy, and with moderate energy behind it, it'll have some push. The wind is set to be glassy – a light southerly, no chop. That's about as good as it gets for a clean, user-friendly wave. For you guys at Sebastian Inlet-First Peak, this is the one to circle. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Crowds are possible at the Inlet, especially on a weekend morning, but with the surf being so small for so long, a lot of folks might have given up. This could be a sneaky good session for the patient ones.
Stay keen, the wait is nearly over.
