The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Sebastian Inlet-First Peak. Gotta be straight with you, this is a tough one.
Right now, and for the entire 16-day window, we're looking at a stretch of tiny, weak surf with combined swell energy struggling to hit even a moderate reading (peaking at a meagre 80). The swell is coming straight out of the east, which is fine for the inlet, but the heights are just pitiful – staying below 3 ft the whole time. The period's short too, mostly around 8 seconds, so there's no grunt behind it.
Thursday morning (23rd July) kicks off with 1 ft east swell and a cross-onshore breeze, making for some poor, choppy conditions. Friday (24th July) barely tickles up to 2.6 ft, but it's still a cross-onshore mess. Saturday morning (25th July) offers a brief cleaner window with a light cross-offshore breeze on that 2 ft east swell, but it's still just not enough to get excited about. The rest of the run is a story of flat, clean mornings with offshore winds here and there, but the swell just doesn't show up. Sunday afternoon (26th July) goes glassy on 1.6 ft, which is pretty, but again, hardly rideable.
There is no standout period. The closest we get to something rideable is on Saturday morning (25th July) when the wind cleans up, but the swell is just too weak at 2 ft and 8 seconds. After that, it's a long stretch of nothing. We drop to 1 ft days with combined energy values as low as 6. The entire week of August starts flat with clean conditions but zero power.
Honestly, for the next two weeks, this setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer if any breeze picks up. For us, it's a blank run. Conditions can change, but right now, you're better off doing something else.
