The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. I’m looking at the next 16 days for Sebastian Inlet-First Peak (beach/jetty), and it’s a tough one. The water is about 83°, which is just 0.9° warmer than usual for July—nothing crazy, just your typical warm summer water.
From Wednesday, July 22, it starts flat. Swell is only 1 ft from the east with a short 8-second period, and a light cross breeze. The combined energy is a weak 18, and the wave comment says it all: poor surf conditions. Thursday the 23rd is even smaller with onshore wind. Friday the 24th pushes up to about 3 ft east swell, but it’s still short-period and cross-onshore, combined energy only 80—still poor. Saturday the 25th morning goes glassy with a 3 mph southeast cross-breeze and 2 ft from the east, but energy is weak (60) and period short (8 seconds). Not enough push.
Sunday the 26th through Wednesday the 29th offers some clean windows with offshore or cross-off winds, but the swell never gets above 2 ft, and periods stay short. Energy numbers are all in the teens or low twenties. It’s not surfable—just tiny wind bumps.
From July 30 all the way to August 6, the swell drops even further—down to 0.7 ft to 1 ft, periods as low as 7 seconds, and combined energy falling into single digits. Some mornings are clean, a few have glassy offshore breezes, but there’s simply no wave power. This is a long, flat run with zero standout days. The jetty can sometimes focus energy, but with these tiny swells, nothing is going to break for surfing.
Since the swell never reaches 5 ft for beginners or 8 ft for experts, none of that matters—it’s just too small for everyone. With the beach/jetty setup and persistent weak east swell, this stretch looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Honestly, there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. These flat spells are normal for summer here—forecasts can change, but right now it’s a waiting game.
