Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s happening for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough run. The first recommendation for a surf doesn’t even pop up until the 15th of July, and even then, it’s not what you’d call a score. From now until the 14th, we’re looking at a long gap of flat, poor surf conditions. The waves are tiny, the energy is weak, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-on, messing up what little bump there is. It’s not a great time to be a paddle surfer around here.
For the first break we’re looking at, Sebastian Inlet-First Peak, the water temp is sitting at 84°F which is about normal for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
Alright, let’s talk about the one period that might get your attention. On the morning of the 15th of July, we finally see a slight bump. Swell is coming from the NE at 2ft, with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is still weak at 41 (combined energy), but the wind is light from the SE, keeping things fairly clean. The swell direction is NE, which is actually the optimum direction for this spot. So, while it’s small, it’s the best we’ve got. It’s not a standout for power, but for clean little waves on a longboard, it might be worth a paddle. Crowds are sometimes a problem here, so keep that in mind.
From the 16th through the 18th, we stay in the same range – tiny knee-high waves with weak energy. The 18th morning is glassy, but the swell is only 1ft. It’s clean, but barely breaking.
After the 19th, we drop even smaller. The swell drops to 0.7ft, and the wind picks up – strong offshore from the SW, which is clean, but there’s just no push. The energy is barely registering (6-13). This is more of a kite surfing setup if anything, with the wind and flat water.
The very end of the window, on the 23rd of July, shows a tiny spike with 2ft from the SE at 4 seconds. That’s a short period, windswell, and the wind is cross-off from the S, so it’s clean, but the period is so short it’ll be crumbly and weak.
Verdict: There’s no real standout here. The only thing worth a mention is the morning of the 15th of July, with that small NE swell and light cross-off wind at Sebastian Inlet-First Peak. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best on offer. The rest of the period is a write-off for surf.
Rusty.
