Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Sebastian Inlet – First Peak over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, flat run here. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. We’ve got a solid 16 days of nothing but tiny, weak waves. The combined swell energy is a measly 22 (weak) right at the start, and it never gets above 38 (still weak) the whole time. The wave height barely scrapes 2 ft, and that’s only on the 19th of July with a messy, short-period wind swell from the SE at 3 seconds. That’s not surf, that’s bump.
For a spot like Sebastian Inlet – First Peak, a beach/jetty setup that’s usually very consistent, this is a real bummer. The lack of any decent groundswell means the lineup is gonna be a ghost town. Some mornings offer glassy conditions, like the 13th and 14th of July, but it’s on 1 ft of nothing. There’s no standout, no best on offer. It’s all just a waiting game.
For the first week, we’ve got a few moments of clean, glassy or offshore wind, especially on the 12th of July, 13th, and 14th, but even then, the waves are just too small and weak to paddle for. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Into the second week, from the 19th of July onward, we see a bit more consistent offshore wind from the SW, but the swell direction stays junk and the height is still pathetic. A few of those afternoons, like the 24th and 25th of July, have a gentle offshore wind and a slight bump in energy to 31 (still weak), but it’s still just 1 ft of short-period slop. Don’t get your hopes up.
Honestly, this is one of those stretches where the forecast looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, if the wind holds. But for us wave hunters, the only thing to do is wait for the next system. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but for now, it’s a big fat zero.
Rusty.
