The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for our stretch of coast. We’re talking about Sebastian Inlet - First Peak, and honestly, we’ve got a long dry spell coming up.
Right now, and for the next week, it’s pretty much a bust. The water's sitting right about average for this time of year. We’re looking at tiny, weak swell – just 1ft to 1ft from the east, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak, barely getting into double digits (14 to 29). The wind is a mixed bag. Thursday morning the 20th is glassy and clean, but the swell is so small it’s not worth paddling out for. Friday morning the 21st and Saturday morning the 22nd have clean conditions with a light offshore breeze, but again, the waves are just not there. This pattern of small, weak swell and variable wind carries on through the whole first week.
We’ll see a slight bump in size around the 27th, but it’s still choppy and messy. The best we can hope for in the first week is a few clean mornings with tiny, poor surf.
Finally, as we get into the second week, things start to look a little more interesting. On Friday morning the 28th of August, the swell picks up to 3ft from the southeast, with a short period of 6 seconds, but the combined energy finally climbs into the moderate range (101). The wind is offshore from the WSW, keeping it clean. It’s still not world-class, but it’s the first glimpse of something surfable after a long wait. Then, on Tuesday morning the 1st of September, we get another chance with a glassy morning, 2ft swell from the east with a period of 10 seconds, and energy at 87. It’s still small, but it’s clean.
The real standout in this whole outlook, the one that’s got a bit of promise, is Saturday morning the 29th of August. We’ll have a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the south, with a 2ft east swell carrying a period of 10 seconds. The energy is building (71). It’s not going to be big, but it might just offer the cleanest, most fun little waves of the entire forecast. For a spot that’s usually consistent, this is a long quiet spell, but it won’t stay poor forever. Keep your eyes on that Saturday morning.
Rusty, signing off.
