The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Honestly, the next couple weeks are looking pretty flat and frustrating around here. The first real sniff of anything rideable is still a ways off, and even then, it’s nothing to get too hyped about. The wait is on.
Alright, so we’re looking at Sebastian Inlet-First Peak right now. That’s our main spot. And the water temp? It’s feeling pretty much average for this time of year. Nothing wild.
The first chunk of the forecast is a real struggle. From Thursday, August 27th, right through to the end of the first week, it’s just flat. We’re talking tiny swell – 0.6m and under – with weak energy all around. The combined energy is in the 30s to 40s for most of that run, which is basically nothing. Winds are mostly cross-on or cross-shore, making a mess of the already small waves. You’ll be paddling for nothing. There’s a bit of glass on Friday morning, August 28th, but the swell is only 0.4m – you’d be fighting for a knee-high bump.
Saturday, September 6th, things finally start to show a pulse. The morning brings a 0.4m swell from the NE, but it’s a longer period at 12 seconds, and the combined energy bumps up to 77. The wind is light and cross-off, so it’s clean. The comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” which is fair. It’s not good, but it’s a start.
Monday, September 7th, is our first real standout. The morning has a clean 0.7m swell from the ENE, with a 10-second period. The wind is offshore from the SSW, so it’s clean. The combined energy reads 95. It’s small, but it’s clean and there’s a bit of push. This is the best bet in the first half of the forecast.
The week of September 9th to 11th sees a bit more size, but the quality drops. Wednesday, September 9th, the swell jumps to 1.2m from the E, but the period is short – only 5 to 6 seconds. That’s windswell, and it won’t have much shape. The combined energy goes up to 160, which is moderate, but those short-period waves are just messy. The wind is offshore though, so it’ll be clean and bumpy. Thursday, September 10th, the morning is glassy with a 1.0m E swell, but again, short period. It’s surfable, but it’s not going to be pretty.
So, if you’re itching for a paddle, the standout is Monday, September 7th, morning at Sebastian Inlet-First Peak. Clean, offshore wind, tiny but rideable swell. The next best is Wednesday, September 9th, morning, for a bit more size but less quality. It’s a long wait for anything decent.
