The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next two weeks are a flat spell for the Space Coast. There’s nothing on offer that I’d send a mate out for. The first surfable-looking window doesn’t appear until the very end of August, and even then it’s a long shot.

First off, Sebastian Inlet-First Peak is the only game in town, and it’s a beach/jetty. Water temp is sitting at 85°F, which is about average for this time of year – no real surprise there.

Thursday the 20th through to Thursday the 27th is a total bust. We’ve got tiny dribbles of swell, mostly 0.7ft to 1ft from the east, with periods under 9 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak, hanging around single digits and low twenties (6 to 26). Winds are a mixed bag – a few glassy mornings, but mostly cross-shore or cross-onshore breezes that won't help the micro-swell. This is pure flat, no surf to speak of.

Friday the 28th of August sees a slight pulse: a weak 1ft east swell with a 9-second period. Combined energy climbs into the forties (44). The morning is clean with a light offshore, but it’s still marginal. On Saturday the 29th, we get the biggest sign of life – a 2ft east-southeast swell, 8-second period, and combined energy hits 77. But here’s the kicker: the wind is onshore and then cross-onshore. For a beach/jetty setup, that’s messy. At only 2ft, it’s small, but with that onshore wind, it’ll be bumpy and uninviting. It’s not a standout – more of a “keep your board in the car” kind of day.

Sunday the 30th drops back to 1ft to 2ft, with moderate cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions. A weak east swell hangs around for the first few days of September, but it barely tops 1ft or 2ft. The combined energy stays in the twenties and thirties (22 to 38). The winds are a messy mix of cross and cross-on, and the swell period is short, around 6 to 8 seconds.

Wednesday the 2nd of September shows the biggest swell of the whole run: 2ft from the east, but with a short, weak 6-second period. Combined energy is only 45, and the wind is light cross-onshore – not terrible, but still not clean. This is a full 16 days out, so take it with a grain of salt.

For two whole weeks, there are zero days that offer clean, rideable surf. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those days with any wind and chop. If you’re desperate, the mornings of the 28th, 29th, and that 2nd of September window are your best bet, but you’ll be scratching for any tiny wave.

Stay patient, mate. The flat spells don’t last forever, and the forecasts can change.

Rusty.
