The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s get real about Sebastian Inlet-First Peak. Right now, and for the foreseeable future, it’s a bust. We’ve got a solid 16-day forecast, but it’s mostly flat, weak energy, and the swell just doesn’t show up.
The only time we see the combined wave energy creep into the moderate range (between 100 and 150) is from September 9th onward, but don’t get your hopes up. The swell heights are tiny – 2ft to 2ft – coming from the east and east-northeast, with short periods mostly around 8 to 9 seconds. That’s not enough to push through the onshore and cross-onshore winds that keep the surface choppy. On the 8th and 9th we get a 13-second and 12-second period, but at only 1ft to 2ft, there’s just no power behind it.
Water temp at the start is a warm 85°F, which is about what you’d expect for late August.
Sebastian Inlet-First Peak is a very consistent beach/jetty break that usually handles a good east swell, but this stretch is a dud. With the wind mostly blowing onshore or cross-onshore, it’s choppy and messy. There is no standout session here. Honestly, for the next couple weeks, it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one.
Don’t sweat it – it never stays poor for long around here. Forecasts can turn around.
Rusty.
