The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for the local stretch around Sebastian Inlet.
To be honest, the next 16 days look like a tough stretch for any decent surf. We’re looking at a long run of tiny, weak waves with very little energy behind them. The forecast shows a solid gap of flat, un-rideable conditions for the first week. There’s nothing on the cards that I’d paddle out for until we get near the end of July and into the first few days of August, and even then it’s going to be small.
The first real chance you’ll see of anything surfable is around Tuesday, July 28th at Sebastian Inlet-First Peak. We’re talking about a tiny east swell at 2 ft, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is only 42 (weak). The real reason to mention this morning is the wind. It’s forecast to be glassy. That’s a major positive. You’ll get clean, smooth conditions. The swell is small, so it’s more of a longboard or a funboard session, but it’ll be pretty. The water temperature is going to be about average for this time of year here.
As we go into Wednesday, July 29th and Thursday, July 30th, the pattern holds. The swell stays tiny, around 1 ft, from the east. The energy is still weak (31-38). The winds turn offshore from the west and southwest, which is a real treat. You’ll find clean, glassy lines on the Wednesday morning and Thursday afternoon. The Friday, July 31st, morning is also looking clean with a gentle offshore wind. But again, the size is just not there. It’s a contest for the smallest wave you can catch.
The very end of the period, on Saturday, August 1st and Sunday, August 2nd, is more of the same. The swell drops even further to 0.7 ft or 1.0 ft, with no power to speak of. The energy is down to 14-17. It’s essentially flat.
The one standout, if you can call it that, is the glassy and clean window we get on the morning of July 28th. For a small wave session on a longboard, it’s your best bet. The offshore winds later in the month are also a nice touch, but the swell is just too small to get excited about. If you’re a beginner, the tiny waves are perfect, but for anyone else, it’s a frustrating wait.
Rusty.
