The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it.
Right now, we’re looking at a pretty tough run here. For the next couple of weeks, the surf at Sebastian Inlet-First Peak is barely getting out of first gear. The swell’s tiny, and the wave energy’s way too low to get excited about. You’re looking at a whole lot of days with nothing doing.
Starting from Wednesday 12th August, it’s flat and poor. The swell is a pathetic 1ft from the ESE with a period of only 6 seconds, and the combined energy is just a weak 10. Wind is a light cross-shore from the SE, and the water temp is sitting at a warm 83°, which is about average for this time of year. But none of that matters when there’s no wave to ride.
Thursday 13th through to Monday 17th August, it’s more of the same: tiny 0.7ft to 1ft swell, periods all under 9 seconds, and combined energy barely breaking into the teens. Winds are a mixed bag, with a few cleaner moments like Thursday morning with a light WNW cross-off, but the swell is just too weak. This is a blank stretch with no recommendations.
Tuesday 18th August morning shows a glimmer – glassy conditions with a 0.7ft swell but a period of 13 seconds, which is a long-period groundswell, but the height is so small it’s not going to break properly. The energy is still low at 33. Not worth paddling out.
From Wednesday 19th August through to the end of the forecast on Thursday 27th August, it’s the same story. Swell heights stay between 0.7ft and 2ft, periods mostly under 10 seconds, and the combined energy never climbs above 48 – still weak. There are a few glassy mornings (like 19th, 20th, 24th, 25th, and 27th) and some clean moments, but the swell just isn’t there to make anything of it. The biggest blip is Monday 24th August afternoon when the swell bumps to 2ft from the ESE, but it’s a 4-second period – that’s windswell junk, and the wind is a cross-onshore, so it’s messy. Kite surfers might have more fun than paddle surfers on days like that.
Honestly, there are no standouts in this entire 16-day window. It’s a long, quiet stretch, but this kind of flat spell is pretty normal for the area. Keep the board waxed, because it won’t stay this poor forever. Forecasts can change.
