The Lowdown
Alright, let me break down the next couple of weeks for Sebastian Inlet-First Peak the way we’d talk about it at the beach.
Honestly, it’s a rough start. From this Friday, July 17th, straight through to the 24th, we’re looking at a whole lot of flat, weak junk. A solid week of nothing worth paddling out for. The combined wave energy is barely a whisper, peaking at 36 on the 24th afternoon when it goes glassy but still tiny. The water temp is a pleasant 29°, about normal for this time of year.
The first real sign of life comes on the morning of Saturday, July 25th. The energy jumps to 123 (moderate) and we finally get a 3ft swell out of the East with a 10-second period. With a light cross-offshore wind from the South, it should be clean. It’s a small wave, but after a full week of nothing, it’s the first chance to get wet. The afternoon looks like it gets messy with a cross-shore chop.
After that, it’s back to the tiny stuff. The morning of Sunday the 26th has a 2ft East swell with a clean offshore breeze from the Southwest. The 27th and 28th also show tiny knee-high East swells with clean, gentle offshore winds in the mornings. It’s a solid run of small, clean mornings if you’re desperate for a paddle.
The only real standout in this whole 16-day forecast is that Saturday morning, July 25th. That 3ft East swell with clean conditions is the best we’ve got. Just keep in mind, at Sebastian Inlet, with crowds listed as sometimes, you’ll have some company for that little window of fun. The period is short, so it’s a typical beach/jetty slosh. If the wind plays ball, it’ll be worth a look.
