The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut straight to it. We’re looking at a flat spell for Sebastian Inlet-First Peak. It’s gonna be a long, quiet stretch, so don’t get your hopes up for any decent waves in the next two weeks.
The whole 16-day window is a write-off, plain and simple. There’s nothing on offer that’s worth paddling out for. The combined swell energy never really gets going, staying weak, with the highest reading just hitting 186 (moderate) on the afternoon of Friday, August 7th, but even then, the surf is still rated as poor. You’ll see tiny, short-period swell from the east or southeast, mostly around 0.7 ft to 1 ft, with the biggest push being a meager 4 ft on that Friday afternoon. The problem is, that peak comes with onshore wind, which will chop it up.
From now until at least the morning of Thursday, August 13th, you’re looking at a gap where the surf is basically flat or unsurfable. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The one small highlight in this drought is the morning of Thursday, August 13th. We get a tiny 0.7 ft of east swell, but the wind is light offshore from the southwest, keeping it glassy. Then again on the morning of Saturday, August 15th, there's a similar 2 ft bump from the ESE with light cross-offshore winds, keeping things clean. But honestly, for a spot like Sebastian Inlet-First Peak that’s very consistent, this is a rare blank run. It’s a beach and jetty setup, and with no real swell and onshore winds, you’d be better off saving the petrol. This setup would be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on the few days the breeze picks up.
Hang in there. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a total flat spell.
