The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, this is a tough stretch to be a surfer around here. We’ve got a long, quiet run ahead. The first week is pretty much a write-off. From Saturday the 15th through to Friday the 28th of August, it’s all low-energy, tiny dribble. Nothing that’ll get your heart pumping. You’d be better off tuning up your longboard or just taking a break – the water’s warm, sitting at about 84°, which is basically normal for the time of year, so at least the paddle won’t be cold.

There’s a real gap there of nearly two weeks with nothing worth paddling out for. The combined swell energy is barely registering, mostly in the teens or low twenties (12 to 66), which is weak stuff. The odd morning might see some glassy conditions, like Sunday morning the 16th with light offshore wind, but the swell is only 1.0ft from the east with an 8-second period – not enough to push you down the line.

The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Friday the 28th of August. We finally see a little bump in energy. The swell picks up to 2ft from the east with a 10-second period, and the combined energy climbs to 81 – still moderate, but it’s better than everything before it. The wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping things clean. It’s only ‘surfable but ordinary’ but given the flat spell, it’s the best we’ve got. Sebastian Inlet-First Peak is very consistent and exposed to the east-northeast, so it will catch whatever’s out there. The swell direction is east, which is close enough to that optimum northeast direction to work. Don’t expect a crowd, but this spot can get busy sometimes, so you might see a few other keen locals.

Then Saturday the 29th is a bit of a mixed bag. Morning sees 3ft from the east-southeast but a short period of 5 seconds, so it’ll be a bit fat and weak. Combined energy is 74 – moderate. Still, clean conditions with the light cross-offshore breeze mean you might snag a few if you’re desperate. That’s really as good as it gets. After that, we fade back into small stuff right through to the end of the outlook.

So, your best bet is to target the morning of Friday the 28th or Saturday the 29th of August at First Peak. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only window where a log or a funboard might find something to do.

Rusty.
