The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days around Sebastian Inlet-First Peak are looking pretty flat. We’re talking about a long stretch of small, weak waves and mostly ordinary conditions, so don’t expect much to get excited about for a while.
Right now, the first recommendation we get isn’t until the morning of Monday, 27 July. That’s over a week and a half of waiting. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year – nothing out of the ordinary there.
The swell just isn’t doing its job. Most of the period, we’ve got tiny waves around 1 foot to 1 feet from the east, with short periods of 7 to 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is low, mostly in the teens or twenties, so there’s just no grunt behind it. Mornings often have clean, light breezes, but the waves are too small to bother with. Afternoons get a side or cross-shore wind that messes up what little ripple is there.
Around Tuesday, 28 July, things get a little less embarrassing. The morning sees a small bump to 3 feet from the ESE, with a period of 9 seconds and the combined energy finally hitting 107 – that’s moderate. It’s clean early, with a slight air, so it’s surfable, but only just. It’s still very ordinary, and the swell is small. Wednesday, 29 July, gives us a glassy start with 2 feet from the east, and the energy is half of what it was the day before. It’s a similar story: surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Honestly, this is a tough run. The break is very consistent, but there’s just no swell to work with. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the best chance is the morning of Monday, 27 July, or Tuesday, 28 July. The morning of Tuesday, 28 July, is the only real standout – it’s the biggest swell we see, and it’s clean with a light offshore. That’s your best bet, but don’t expect much. The rest of the window is a write-off for decent surfing.
Rusty.
