The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down for the non-metric crew. The outlook for the next 16 days at Sebastian Inlet-First Peak is pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of flatness ahead, so don't rush to wax up. The first flicker of anything worthwhile is nearly two weeks out, and even that is a big maybe.
For the first ten days or so, it’s all small, weak, and chopped up. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, making a mess of things, and the swell is tiny. The water is 81°, which is about 3° cooler than normal for this time of year – that’s a noticeable chill.
The only time we see something that isn't a washout is on August 18th, a Tuesday morning more than a week away. We get a tiny east pulse of about 1.0 ft, but with a longer period of 9 seconds and a light offshore cross-off wind from the WSW. The combined energy is weak at 23, so it’s clean but tiny. You’d be on a longboard getting a handful of knee-high rides all to yourself.
The best chance comes on August 19th Wednesday morning. It’s glassy, no wind at all, with a 1.0 ft east swell, period of 8 seconds, and combined energy of 32. That’s the cleanest we'll see. But like clockwork, the afternoon trades will blow up from the ESE at 12 mph and kill it.
Honestly, there’s no standout session in this whole 16-day run. Nothing cracks the 3 ft mark, and the wind is almost always ruining what little form there is. This inlet needs a proper groundswell, and we aren’t getting one. On the small, choppy days, this beach/jetty setup looks more like a kiteboarding zone than a surf spot.
Maybe keep your eye on the 19th for a glassy drift, but otherwise, sit this one out. Something will turn up eventually.
Rusty.
