Table - best surf conditions forecast for Sebastian Inlet-First Peak over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s in store for us at Sebastian Inlet-First Peak.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and disappointing. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak waves, and nothing really gets going until the very end of the forecast. The swell energy is just not there, with most days showing combined energy under 100, which is barely a ripple. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We’re looking at a solid run of poor surf from now through to the end of July. The first week is all ankle-biters, with swell heights barely topping 1 ft. The period is short, 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s just wind chop. The first real stand-out, if you can call it that, arrives on the morning of Saturday, July 25th. We’re seeing a small bump of 3 ft from the ENE, with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined energy hits 59 (still weak), but the wind is light and cross-off from the south, making it clean. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. The best of the lot is probably the morning of Sunday, July 26th. The swell is 2 ft from the east with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is 61 (still weak). The wind is light from the south, cross-off, so it’ll be clean. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s the most consistent window we’ve got. The morning of Monday, July 27th, is similar, with 2 ft east swell and light cross-off winds, energy at 60. After that, on Tuesday, July 28th, the wind switches to a light cross, and the quality drops off.
The crowds are only sometimes an issue, but with surf this small, most people will be staying home anyway. There’s nothing here for beginners or experts; it’s just a flat spell. For kite surfers, the afternoon sea breezes might offer something, but for paddle surfing, it’s a long wait.
