The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down.
Right now, the surf is flat and it’s gonna stay that way for a long stretch. We’ve got a big gap of basically nothing worth paddling out for until Saturday, August 8th, when things finally get interesting.
From today, Wednesday, July 29th, all the way through Friday, August 7th, it’s mostly tiny, frustrating surf. Wave heights are 0.6ft to 2ft, mostly out of the east, with combined energy mostly under 100, a lot of it single digits or teens – weak, weak energy. Winds are mixed, some light offshores or cross-offshores, even a glassy morning on August 7th, but the swell just isn’t there. Periods are 4-10 seconds, mostly short and weak. It’s poor surf conditions, none of it rates, and it’s not worth getting wet.
Friday afternoon, August 7th, does show a period bump to 12 seconds, but only 1ft of swell, so energy stays low at 64.
Then Saturday morning, August 8th – that’s the one. Sebastian Inlet-First Peak sees a jump to around 4ft from the east, with combined energy hitting 364, strong and solid, and a period of 10 seconds. Winds are light from the SSW, making it cross-offshore and clean. That morning scores the only real “good surf conditions” in the whole outlook. This is the standout. It’s pushing borderline for beginners at over 5ft, so keep it for the intermediate crowd. Water temperature is about 82°, which is a touch below average for late July, but still warm enough.
Sunday, August 9th and Monday, August 10th mornings drop back to 2-3ft from the east-northeast, periods 8-11 seconds. Winds are glassy or light SSW, so it’s clean but just ordinary. Energy sits between 65 and 188. Not terrible, but not special.
Tuesday, August 11th has a glassy afternoon with 3ft, 11-second east-northeast swell, energy around 199. Clean, small, mellow.
From Wednesday, August 12th to Thursday, August 13th, we’re looking at 2-3ft, east-northeast, periods 10-11 seconds, with moderate offshore winds from the WSW. Clean but small, energy dropping to 104-139.
Bottom line: Saturday, August 8th morning at Sebastian Inlet-First Peak is your only true standout. The rest is small and clean but not much to write home about.
