The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s going on at Sebastian Inlet-First Peak (beach/jetty).
Honestly, the next few days are looking pretty flat and grim. There’s a tiny little bump on the morning of the 31st – maybe 2ft of east windswell with a short 8 second period and only 75 units of combined energy. Glassy conditions early Monday morning, so you might snag a few ankle-biters if you’re really keen. But by the afternoon the wind gets onshore and there’s storms. From Monday afternoon all the way through to Sunday the 7th, it’s basically flat or junk – tiny swell under 2ft, wrong winds, and poor conditions across the board. That’s a solid 8-day stretch where you’re better off doing something else.
Things start to look a little more interesting around Monday the 7th afternoon. A little pulse of 3ft NE swell shows up with a short period and combined energy of 92. Wind is light and cross-off earlier, but turns messy. Tuesday the 8th offers 3ft NE swell again in the morning, still short period, but the wind goes clean cross-off from the west at 12 mph. Combined energy hits 110. Still not great, but it’s clean at least.
The one standout – the only real window I can get excited about – is the morning of Wednesday the 9th of September. We’ve got 2ft from the NE with an 11 second period, which is proper groundswell, and combined energy at 193 – the highest we’ll see. The wind is light westerly, cross-off, leaving it glassy. The swell is small but the quality will be there. That’s the session to aim for. The afternoon holds similar but a notch weaker. After that, it fades back into tiny, weak surf through the second week, with occasional clean but tiny conditions.
For this break, the best direction is NE, and that’s what we get. If you hit it on the 9th, you might find a few fun, clean little runners peeling off the jetty. Crowds are a thing here when it’s surfable, so expect company.
Water temp at the start is 84°F – dead average for this time of year, nothing abnormal.
Best call: Wednesday morning, September 9th at Sebastian Inlet-First Peak. Small but clean, with some real period. Everything else is a wash for paddle surfing.
Rusty.
