Alright, picture this: It’s a classic flat spell for Sebastian Inlet-First Peak. Right now, we’re looking at a solid stretch of barely-there conditions that’s going to test your patience through the first week of July and beyond. Honestly, there isn’t a single good day to paddle out in this whole 16-day run. You’ve got a long gap of nothing worth chasing.
We start off on Friday morning, July 3rd with clear skies and glassy water, but the swell is a tiny 2ft out of the ENE with a short period of just 7 seconds. The wave energy is weak at 44, and the water temperature is sitting around 82°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – about 2° cooler than average. But honestly, that doesn’t matter when you’re looking at poor surf. That glassy look is a tease; the swell is just too small and weak to do anything with.
The rest of the day Friday and Saturday, the wind shifts around, but the surf stays in the doldrums – 1.0ft to 2ft, always poor surf. Sunday morning (July 5th) offers a brief moment of clean conditions with an offshore breeze from the SW and tiny 1.0ft waves from the east, but again, it’s just not enough to ride. That same story repeats throughout the next week: a few clean windows of light offshore or cross-off winds, especially on Tuesday morning, July 7th, but the swell never breaks the 2ft mark. The energy readings hover around 11 to 50 – all weak, with one Thursday afternoon on July 9th nudging up to 3ft and a moderate 117 energy reading out of the ESE, but the cross-shore wind messes it up and it’s still classified as poor surf.
Into the second week, around July 12th and 13th, Sunday and Monday mornings are clean again with light offshore breezes, but the swell is still only 1.0ft to 1ft. The wave energy is barely a whisper – 19 to 20. By Wednesday, July 15th, we’re down to 0.7ft. It’s a total bust. Even the afternoons with a bit more breeze don’t help, and the waves stay undersized and weak right through to Saturday, July 18th.
Look, this is a very consistent spot usually, but right now it’s a dead calm, and it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those afternoons when the seabreeze kicks up a bit. But for a surfer? You’re better off staying on land. The forecasts can change, but for now, this is a proper flat spell.
