The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – the surf forecast for Sebastian Inlet-First Peak over the next 16 days is a tough one to write. It's a real dry spell, and I'm having to look hard for a silver lining.
Right now, for the next few days, there's just nothing doing. The swell is tiny, with heights barely scraping 1 to 2 feet, and the period is short, around 4 to 8 seconds – that's pure wind chop, not real groundswell. The combined wave energy is pitiful, mostly in the low teens to low 60s (34 to 61), and the wind is kicking up the surface, making it a messy, choppy scene. It's mainly cross-shore or onshore winds, which is a real bummer for this jetty/beach setup. We're looking at a solid gap of almost no surfable waves here until the end of the week.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday, July 25th. The morning looks the best of a bad bunch. We've got a tiny 2-foot swell from the east, a period of 8 seconds, but the wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE, which will keep the surface clean. The combined wave energy is still weak at 60, but it's the cleanest we'll see it. The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is normal for this time of year. It's surfable, but just barely. The afternoon gets messy again as the wind picks up.
Honestly, that Saturday morning window is the only thing that gets a score of 1 out of 10 for "surfable waves". The rest of the 16 days is a write-off. After Saturday, the swell drops back to nothing – 1 foot from the east – and while the wind turns offshore from the SW, which is the optimum direction for this spot, there's just no swell to work with. The energy levels are rock bottom, in the low teens and twenties (13 to 25). It's a classic case of all wind, no waves.
The whole period is a blank run. It's one of those times where the ocean just goes flat. The best you can hope for is a surfable but ordinary session on the morning of the 25th, but keep your expectations on the floor. For anything else, you're better off waiting for the forecast to change.
Rusty.
