Alright, Rusty here, checking on Sebastian Inlet. It’s a tough stretch ahead for us.
Right now, it’s looking like a pretty flat run with very little to get excited about. We’ve got a long gap with practically no worthwhile surf, stretching for most of the next two weeks. The first real chance for anything at Sebastian Inlet-First Peak doesn’t come up until Thursday the 23rd of July, and even then it’s barely a whisper.
Let’s break it down. From today through Wednesday the 22nd, the swell is tiny, around 0.7ft to 2ft from the east, with a short period. The combined wave energy is very weak, between 5 and 40. Plenty of those mornings have clean, glassy conditions – Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th look particularly beautiful with glassy conditions, but there’s no push to the water. It’s just too small.
The first flicker of life arrives on Thursday the 23rd of July. The afternoon shows a slight bump: 2ft from the ESE, period nudging up to 8 seconds, and the combined energy reaches 72. The wind is light and cross-off, keeping it clean. It’s still described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It won’t be great, but it’ll be your only real option in this whole period.
Friday the 24th through to Sunday the 26th see a small swell from the SE, but the period drops right back to 4 or 5 seconds, and winds turn cross or cross-on. Energy levels stay in the 20 to 40 range. There’s nothing that comes together as a standout.
The best session, if you can call it that, is that Thursday 23rd July afternoon. The swell direction from the ESE is a decent match for the open beach and jetty setup. Light wind and clean conditions will let that small swell form up into something rideable for a longboard. It’s about as good as it gets, but don’t expect much.
There’s no big swell, no groundswell, no real power. For expert surfers, there’s nothing here. Beginners could manage the tiny stuff on the 23rd. For the rest of the time, this is a stretch where you’re better off checking the kite forecast – the setup is more interesting for them than us.
Stay patient, my friends. This is how it goes sometimes.
Rusty.
