Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Alright, straight up, we’re looking at a pretty flat spell ahead for Sebastian Inlet-First Peak. The next 16 days are a bit of a tease, with nothing really getting the heart pumping. We’ve got tiny, weak waves and the wind is often working against us. The best you can hope for is a few clean, glassy mornings with knee-high bumps, but it’s going to be a real grind to find anything with any push.
The first real moment you might want to paddle out is on Wednesday the 15th, in the morning. We’re looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the NE, with a light offshore wind from the West. It’s clean, but the energy is weak (51). It’s a bit of a ‘hobble’ for a wave, not a ‘ride’. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The next morning, Thursday the 16th, offers similar 2ft, NE swell, but the wind is cross-shore, so it won’t be as clean. The period is short (7 seconds), so the waves will be a bit fat and lack punch.
You’ll have to wait for Saturday the 19th for another clean window. Morning looks good with a light offshore wind from the SW, but the swell is back down to 1ft from the East. It’s more of a float than a surf.
The best bet in the whole window, and it’s a sad one, is probably the morning of Wednesday the 15th. It’s clean, 2ft, NE swell, and the combined energy is a moderate 51. It’s the best of a bad bunch, but it’s still only for the longboard or the foamie. For the rest of the time, the persistent SE and ESE winds are going to mess up the surface. There’s a few glassy moments on the 13th, 14th, and 17th, but the swell is just too small to make it worth the effort.
Honestly, this stretch looks more interesting for a kayak or a paddleboard than a surfboard. The small, clean days are pretty, but there’s no power. Keep your expectations low and your wax soft.
Rusty.
