The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Sebastian Inlet-First Peak. The water is sittin’ at 81°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – nothing crazy, just a touch off.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you. The next sixteen days are a drought. There’s not a single standout session in the whole run. The forecast is a long, flat, and choppy stretch. The only little blip of something surfable is a weak pulse of 4ft to 4ft easterly swell around Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th, with combined energy readings in the 170s (moderate energy), but the wind is a mess. It’s cross or cross-on from the ESE at 15–25 mph, churning up junk. You’d be better off with a kite than a paddle those days.
The rest of the window is a real bummer. From the 9th through the 20th, the swell hangs around 0.7ft to 2ft, and the period is mostly short, between 4 and 10 seconds. There’s a morning on the 12th and the 17th with offshore winds, but the swell is so tiny it’s barely a ripple. A few mornings, like the 11th, the 14th, and the 16th, are clean with light cross-off breezes, but again, the waves are just not there.
So, there’s nothing to chase here. It’s a blank run. For this area, that’s just how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the boards at home.
