Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this is a tough stretch for Sebastian Inlet. We’ve got a long, long run of tiny, weak, and messy conditions ahead. Nothing is worth paddling out for in the first week and a half. The truth is, from now through the middle of the month, the combined wave energy is barely registering – most days it’s below 100 (weak), with many readings dipping into the teens and twenties. Swell heights stay under 3 ft, mostly from the east or southeast, and the period is short, mostly 7 seconds or less, so none of that groundswell punch. Winds are often onshore or cross-shore, and even when they’re light or glassy, there’s just no swell to work with.
The first real glimmer comes on the afternoon of July 11 (Saturday). The wave comment finally admits the surf is “surfable” – though it’s still ordinary. You’ll see a small pulse of energy with the combined swell reading hitting 90 (moderate), bumping heights up to about 2 ft from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds. Winds are light and cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. It’s not a standout by any stretch, just the least bad day in a flat spell. If you have to get wet, that’s your window.
Then things go totally quiet again right after. The second week shows barely a ripple, with heights mostly 0.7 ft to 1 ft and combined energy back under 30. There’s a small increase showing for July 16 (Thursday) afternoon and July 17 (Friday) morning, with swell climbing to 3 ft and then 4 ft from the east, period around 6 seconds, but winds turn onshore from the east, so expect bumpy, choppy faces. Wave energy climbs to 77-92 (moderate), but with the onshore wind and short period, this is more of a blown-out mess than a session. For the experienced lot, it’s maybe a grovel, but for beginners, the size on the 17th (4 ft) is still manageable.
The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is about 2° cooler than normal for early July, so you’ll notice it being a touch fresher than usual. That’s notable.
Let’s face it: this area is going through a flat spell. Don’t hold your breath. It tends not to stay this poor forever, but right now, the forecast is a long blink.
