The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m staring down the local forecast for Sebastian Inlet-First Peak. Gotta be straight with you—this is a rough stretch. The whole sixteen-day window is a flat, choppy mess with no real surf on offer. From Saturday, August 29th, all the way through Sunday, September 13th, every single session is written off as poor surf conditions. That’s more than two weeks with barely a ripple worth paddling for.
The combined swell energy is tiny the whole time, mostly in the weak range, with numbers like 29, 28, 37, and even dropping to 7 or 9. The biggest energy we see is on Monday, August 31st afternoon, hitting just 99—still weak. Swell heights are puny, from 0.7 ft up to 2 ft at best, all coming from the east or northeast, with periods mostly short—between 5 and 11 seconds. No real groundswell to speak of.
The wind is the real problem. Most of the time it’s cross-on or onshore from the east or ENE, blowing at 6 to 12 mph, keeping the surface chopped and messy. There are a few brief cleaner windows—like Sunday morning, September 6th, with a light cross-offshore from the WNW at 6 mph, and Monday morning, September 7th, same deal. But even then, the swell is only 1.0 ft to 2 ft, with no power behind it. Saturday morning, September 5th, is glassy with no wind, but it’s a flat 1.0 ft. You could float on a log, but you won’t be surfing.
Sebastian Inlet-First Peak is a beach/jetty break that’s very consistent, so it usually has something going, but right now it’s just not happening. The optimum swell direction is from the NE, and we do get some NE swell on a couple days, but it’s too small and weak to matter. There are no standouts, no best days. The whole forecast is one long gap in surfable waves.
Look, I hate to bring the bad news, but sometimes the ocean just shuts down. For this area, a blank run like this is more normal than you’d hope. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board in the truck and check back in a couple weeks.
