The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up at Sebastian Inlet-First Peak over the next couple of weeks. It’s a tough stretch, I’m not gonna lie. The first three weeks of July are pretty much a write-off for any decent surf. Tuesday the 14th through to the morning of Friday the 24th are all scoring zero across the board – we’re talking tiny, crummy waves with no energy to speak of. The combined swell energy barely cracks double digits most days, sitting around 6 to 21 (weak). The water’s sitting at 84°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The only real glimmer on the horizon is the morning of Friday the 24th. That’s still a full week and a half away, so treat it as a promising whisper rather than a guarantee. We get a 0.3ft easterly swell bumping up to a 16-second period – that’s a proper long-period groundswell, which will be better shaped and have more grunt, but it’ll also mean longer lulls between sets. The combined energy jumps to 56 (still weak to moderate, but a step up). The wind is a light, cross-off breeze from the south-southeast, so it’ll be clean. For a spot that’s very consistent and exposed to the northeast, this is as close to a standout as we get. Expect crowds at this break, especially on a Friday morning.
Then Saturday the 25th morning offers a similar vibe: 0.5ft from the east, 11-second period, combined energy of 65 (moderate), and again a light cross-off breeze. It’s still small, but it’s clean. The rest of that weekend and into the next week slips back into tiny, choppy, or glassy conditions with no real punch.
So, honestly, if you’re after a paddle, the best bet is that Friday the 24th morning. It’s not big, it’s not epic, but it’s the only window with a bit of clean, longer-period energy on offer. The rest of the run is a solid blank – very typical for this area when the swell goes quiet. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it tends not to stay this flat forever.
Rusty.
