The Lowdown
Alright, grab your log. This is Rusty, checking in from the Space Coast. I've got the full 16-day picture for Sebastian Inlet-First Peak (beach/jetty setup) and, well, I gotta be straight with you: we're looking at a long, flat spell. There just isn't any decent surf on the menu for the foreseeable future.
We kick off from Friday the 14th and it's a total dud. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so that's not the problem. The problem is the complete lack of energy. We have tiny 0.6ft to 1ft windswell from the East nearly the whole run. The swell energy is basically non-existent, with a combined energy reading of just 7 (weak) on that first morning, and it only barely tickles up to 46 (weak) by Thursday the 27th afternoon. Periods are mostly short, between 6 and 10 seconds, so you're not getting any push. It's just "poor surf conditions" across the board—no score above a 0 for the surf quality.
The winds are a mixed bag, with some glassy mornings and light offshore breezes that would keep the water clean, like Friday morning the 14th, Wednesday morning the 19th, and Saturday morning the 22nd. But with nothing to surf, those clean, glassy conditions are just a tease. When we do see the smallest bump of 2ft on Tuesday morning the 25th from the SE, the period is a pathetic 4 seconds and winds are light cross-shore. Still not worth paddling out.
Because First Peak is a very consistent break but we are getting zero quality swell, this kind of blank run is a bit of a bummer for the area. It won't stay poor forever, but for this 16-day window, there just isn't a single standout day. You can leave the board in the car.
Rusty.
