The Lowdown
Alright surfers, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s shaping up for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. There’s no proper swell on the horizon and the wave heights are just barely a ripple for pretty much the whole 16-day run. We’re looking at a long, flat spell, and honestly, the best thing you can do is not get your hopes up until forecasts start to change.
We start on Monday the 27th of July at Sebastian Inlet-First Peak (beach/jetty). The water’s sitting at 82°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year. The swell is tiny, just 1ft from the east, with a short 8-second period. The combined wave energy is weak (20). On Monday afternoon there’s a moment of glassy conditions with a light southerly breeze, which is nice for a paddle but there’s nothing to actually ride. Tuesday through Friday, July 28th to 31st, looks similar with knee-high dribble from the east at 0.7ft to 1.0ft. From time to time we get a clean offshore wind from the SW, but the swell is just too weak to care about.
Saturday the 1st of August through to the end of the forecast is more of the same story – tiny surf. There’s a slight lift on Sunday the 2nd of August afternoon with the swell pushing to 2ft from the ESE, but the cross-shore wind will make it bumpy. The energy stays low, barely cracking 44. For the rest of the first week of August, we’re stuck under 1.0ft to 2ft. The swell periods drop to a very short 4 seconds by August 7th, which means windswell junk that breaks and crumbles without any push.
There are no real standouts here. The wave energy barely gets into the double digits, and even the best winds don’t matter when there’s nothing to push into the lineup. If you’re a kite surfer, this wind and tiny chop might get you moving on the flat water, but for a paddle surfer? This is a long dry spell. Hang in there, it tends not to stay this poor forever.
Rusty.
