Rusty here, and I gotta say it plain—this stretch ahead is a tough one, with barely a bump worth paddling for at Sebastian Inlet-First Peak over the next two and a half weeks. The water's at 80.6°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, but that's the least of our worries when there's no swell.
We start Saturday morning, July 4th, with a tiny 1.0ft easterly windswell, period a short 8 seconds. Wind's light out of the SSW, giving a clean cross-off breeze, but combined swell energy's only 25—it's barely a ripple. That same 1.0ft dribble persists Saturday afternoon, but the wind swings onshore from ESE at 15 km/h and messes things up with cross-on chop. Sunday the 5th morning cleans up with a solid 15 km/h WSW offshore, but still only 1.0ft—you'd splash your toes and call it a day. That pattern sticks all week: Monday the 6th morning is clean but 0.7ft, Tuesday the 7th morning sees a 10 km/h offshore from WSW with 1.0ft... glassy but gutless.
Wednesday the 8th afternoon shows a tiny uptick—2.3ft from the ESE with a 10-second period, combined energy hitting 117 (moderate). But the cross-onshore wind at 15 km/h makes it choppy and ugly. Thursday the 9th morning, we're back to 1.3ft with a clean SSW breeze, but nothing to ride. Friday the 10th afternoon has another 2.3ft pulse from the east-southeast, but the period tanks to a terrible 5 seconds—short-period slop—and the moderate 20 km/h cross-onshore wind ruins any chance at shape.
The weekend of July 11th and 12th offers more of the same: 1.3ft waves, clean early but onshore afternoons. No standout sessions. Then around July 17th, we see a spike—4.6ft on Friday morning from the east with a 6-second period, combined energy at 130. But with a moderate cross-shore wind at 20 km/h and that super short period, it's just a bumpy, lumpy mess that'll close out fast. For paddle surfing, skip it—this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing if you've got the gear.
The last days through July 19th drift back to 1.6-2.0ft with light onshore winds. Bottom line: no good surf options in this 16-day window. This break is normally very consistent, but the swell's just not showing. A blank run like this can happen here—forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board at home.
