The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for this stretch of coast. We’re looking at Sebastian Inlet-First Peak, and I’ll be honest, the next 16 days are a real struggle. There’s a long, flat spell ahead with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is spot on average for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit.
The first glimmer of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Thursday morning, the 3rd of September. We’ve got a bit of swell pushing in from the ESE at 5ft, but the period is a short, weak 5 seconds. The combined energy is only 98 (weak), and with a risk of thunderstorms and light cross-shore winds, it’s just messy. This is really more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session. That afternoon, the wind picks up from the SE at 12 mph, making it even choppier with the same weak 3ft swell.
The only real standout – and I use that term loosely – is Friday morning, the 4th of September. The wind swings around to a light S at 6 mph, giving us a clean, cross-off breeze. The swell is small, only 2ft from the ESE, and the period is still a short 5 seconds, but the combined energy is a meagre 58 (weak). The report calls it “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and that’s the best we get. It’s a light, clean morning for a longboard or a foiler, but don’t expect any power.
After that, it’s back to a dry spell of tiny, weak waves for the rest of the 16 days. The energy drops right off, with readings in the teens and twenties. Wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping everything bumpy. The surf is consistently poor, with scores of zero. Honestly, for a break that’s very consistent, this is a rare blank run. It won’t stay this quiet forever, but for now, keep the board in the car and watch the forecasts.
Rusty.
