The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you – the next sixteen days at Sebastian Inlet-First Peak are looking totally flat. We're not talking about a slow period; we're talking about a full-on, sixteen-day stretch of almost nothing to get excited about. There's no surf to speak of right now, and that's a long, quiet run.
The whole forecast is a series of days with tiny, weak swell. For the first week, into late July, we're looking at small waves from the east and southeast, barely pushing 2ft to 3ft, but with a short period of just 4 to 8 seconds. That's just wind chop, not real swell. The combined energy readings are all in the weak range, mostly between 11 and 40 (weak energy), and even the biggest reading on Saturday the 25th afternoon, which hits 113 (moderate wave energy), still comes with a "poor surf conditions" tag. The wind is often cross or cross-off from the southeast, which isn't ideal for this spot.
Around the 30th of July, the swell direction switches to the northeast, but the size stays small, between 1ft and 2ft, and the period is still a short 6 to 8 seconds. The wind starts to shift more offshore from the WSW, which is a good sign for cleanliness, but there's just no power behind it. The water temperature is sitting at 83°F, which is about average for the time of year, so at least you won't need a wetsuit for a paddle.
Because there are no real standouts, we can't even name a best session. The best you could hope for is a glassy morning on Thursday the 23rd of July, with 1ft of ESE swell, but even that is barely a ripple. If you're a beginner, the tiny size is fine, but don't expect any rideable waves. Honestly, for a spot that's very consistent, this is a weird, blank run. Forecasts can change, but for now, it's a total write-off. The setup is so poor for paddle surfing that it might look more interesting for the kite surfers if the wind picks up.
Rusty.
