The Lowdown

Alright, let me tell you straight up—this stretch looks pretty flat for the foreseeable future. We're looking at Sebastian Inlet-First Peak, and to be honest, it's a tough run for the next couple of weeks.

Right now, the water temp is sitting at a pretty normal 84°, no big surprises there. But the waves? They're scarce. The first few days into the start of September are delivering tiny, weak swell, mostly around 2 to 2 feet from the east, with short periods around 5 to 8 seconds. The energy is weak—barely registering with values around 37 to 50. Winds are mostly cross-onshore or light, making for messy, poor surf. Not worth paddling out.

We get a slight bump on Wednesday the 2nd of September, with a bit more period pushing up to 11 seconds and the combined energy climbing to 116 (moderate). But the swell height is still a puny 2 feet and the wind is cross-onshore. It's a tease, not a session.

After that, it's more of the same. Small, weak, inconsistent—nothing breaking the 2 feet mark. Some mornings clean up with offshore or glassy conditions, like Monday the 7th of September and Tuesday the 8th, but the swell is practically non-existent, around 0.7 to 1 feet. The energy is in the single digits or low teens.

There's a little spike on Tuesday the 8th afternoon when the period jumps to 14 seconds and energy hits 103, but it's still only 1 feet. That's a long-period groundswell, which would be better suited to a point or reef, but here at a beach/jetty, it'll likely just be too straight. Not enough push.

The truth is, there's no standout session in this 16-day window. The surf is flat, inconsistent, and the rare better wind days have no swell to work with. If you're a kiter, you might find something on the windier days, but for paddle surfing, it's a blank run. That's just how it goes sometimes around here—forecasts can change, but right now, it's a waiting game.
