The Lowdown
Alright, let me level with you. Looking at the whole 16-day stretch, it's gonna be a tough one. We've got a serious lack of any decent swell, and the wind is mostly going to be working against us.
The window starts off with a real whimper. Through the 20th, we're looking at tiny surf, mostly under 3 feet, with a lot of onshore and cross-onshore breezes, plus a lot of stormy skies. It's flat and messy. Not worth getting wet for. The few glimpses of clean conditions on the 24th and 25th are on waves that are barely ankle-biters at 1 feet. That's a board-shortener, not a surf session. Then we roll into the end of the month and into the first days of October, with no improvements. The swell stays small, and the winds stay mostly cross or cross-on. There's a small bump around the 30th to 3 feet, but it's short-period slop with onshore wind. Just not worth the paddle.
There's a long stretch of nothing, and when we finally see a bit of pulse, it's still poor. So honestly, there are no standout days here. Everything is rated as poor surf conditions. The whole 16-day run is a blank. It's a real bummer, but it happens.
Needless to say, for the crew at Sebastian Inlet-First Peak (United States), you're better off tuning up the fins or going for a skate. The water temp is sitting around 85°, which is pretty typical for this time of year, nothing crazy there. We're just starved for swell.
It's a stubborn pattern, but that's the coast. It never stays this flat for too long. Forecasts can and will change. But for now, there's just nothing good on the table.
Stay salty.
