The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Sebastian Inlet-First Peak. Gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The next 16 days are looking pretty flat and lifeless, so don't expect much.
Right out of the gate, we’ve got a real gap here. From Friday, July 31st all the way through to Friday, August 7th, the swell is tiny. We’re talking wave heights barely cracking 2 ft, with periods mostly under 10 seconds, and the combined energy is just a whisper (values between 4 and 39). The wind is a mixed bag of cross-off, cross, and cross-on, so even the tiny waves that show up are messy. The standout window doesn't really exist for this stretch.
The water temperature at the start is sitting at 81°, which is about 3° colder than average for this time of year. That’s a bit unusual, feels a touch cooler than it should be for late July.
Alright, we finally get a little pulse of life on Saturday, August 8th. The morning looks glassy, calm wind, with the swell height at 2 ft from the E, period 8 seconds. The combined energy is still weak at 63, but at least the conditions are clean. It’s a "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" kind of morning. That’s the best we’ve got all week, and it’s not saying much.
After that, from Sunday, August 9th, it’s back to the same story: tiny surf, poor energy, and most afternoons ruined by onshore or cross-shore winds. There’s a brief moment on Wednesday, August 12th morning with a clean 0.7 ft from the ENE at 11 seconds, but that’s barely a ripple. The combined energy is 23 – a gentle puff of a wave.
Honestly, there’s no standout break here. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent waves. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the glassy morning on Saturday, August 8th is your best bet, but don’t get your hopes up. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most afternoons with the chop.
Stay patient, folks. It tends not to stay this poor for long. Forecasts can change.
Rusty.
