The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for our stretch of the coast at Sebastian Inlet-First Peak (beach/jetty). Honestly, this is a pretty quiet run. The water is running about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy surf ahead. The combined swell energy is mostly in the teens to low hundreds (18 to 301), which is weak to moderate, but the wave heights are tiny and the period is short, so there’s hardly any push. The whole first week is dominated by easterly wind, which is cross-onshore for most of the sessions, keeping things choppy and uninviting. The best the first week can offer is a brief moment on Tuesday the 4th of August with a light offshore SSW wind, but the swell is only 1ft with a period of 8 seconds (18 combined energy), so it’s barely enough to get excited about. The rest of the week is a mix of cross-onshore winds and poor surf, with the swell never getting above 4ft and the period staying under 8 seconds.
The second week doesn’t look much better. There’s a small window on Sunday the 16th of August morning where the wind goes light and cross-offshore from the SSE, and the swell bumps up to 2ft from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds (74 combined energy). The guidance says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so it’s not a standout, but it’s the best we’ve got. The rest of the week is tiny, with 1ft to 2ft swell and a lot of cross-onshore wind. The period stays short, under 9 seconds, and the energy is weak.
So, if you’re really itching to get wet, that Sunday 16th of August morning is your best bet, but keep expectations low. The rest of the period is a write-off for anything decent. It’s a flat spell that’s more common for this area, so don’t hold your breath. The inlet can work with a bit of swell, but we’re not getting it.
Stay patient, and check back in a few days.
