The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at Florida’s east coast, Sebastian Inlet – First Peak area. Straight up, it’s a quiet stretch ahead. The swell energy is weak, mostly single-digit to low two-digit values (around 38 down to 6), and the wave heights are hovering around 0.7 ft to 2 ft. That’s tiny, ankle to knee-high stuff for the most part. The water temp is sitting right on 84°F, which is about average for this time of year, no anomaly to speak of.
We kick off Tuesday the 14th with a tiny 1 ft swell from the ESE, but a cross-shore wind from the SE at 12 mph is making it messy. No good.
Wednesday the 15th morning looks cleaner with a light NW breeze at 3 mph, but the swell is still only 1 ft from the NE and period is short at 7 seconds. The afternoon cleans up with a light S breeze, but still not enough push.
Thursday the 16th through to Monday the 21st is a real grind – we’re looking at a solid week of poor surf. Heights are maxing out at 1 ft, periods are short (5 to 8 seconds), and the energy is weak. There are some mornings with offshore or light cross-off winds, like Saturday the 18th morning (SSW 6 mph offshore) and Sunday the 19th morning (SSW 6 mph offshore), but the swell is just too small. It’s a long empty stretch with no real recommendation.
Tuesday the 21st afternoon shows a slight bump to 2 ft from the ESE with a 7-second period, and combined energy hits 76. That’s the highest energy in the whole window, but it’s still weak, and the SE wind is 12 mph cross-shore, so it’s bumpy. Not a standout.
The rest of the week from the 22nd to the 29th stays in the same rut – 1 ft to 2 ft, short period, mostly cross-shore or onshore winds. The best looking conditions are on the morning of Tuesday the 28th, with a slight air SSE breeze at 3 mph, clean, but the swell is only 2 ft at 8 seconds from the E. It’s glassy, but there’s just no power.
Honestly, there’s no standout session in this 16-day window. The waves are too small and the energy is too low for any real surfing. If you’re a beginner, the 2 ft clean mornings might be worth a paddle, but for anyone else, it’s a flat spell. The forecast can change, though, so keep an eye on it.
