The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this 16-day stretch for Sebastian Inlet-First Peak is a rough one. We’re talking about a long, lean run with barely a pulse in the water. The first surfable day doesn’t show up until Thursday, 23 July, and even then, it’s a struggle. Before that, from Thursday, 16 July, all the way through to Wednesday, 22 July, there’s just nothing worth paddling out for – a solid seven-day gap of flat, weak, or messy conditions.
The only real flicker of life comes on Thursday, 23 July afternoon. The swell is a tiny 2 feet from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds, and it’s a beach/jetty setup. The combined energy is a weak 64, so you’re not getting any punch. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the west, so the surface will be clean, but the waves are just ordinary. It’s the one spot in the whole window where the surf report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and it gets a score of 1 out of 10. That’s the best we’ve got. For a beginner, it’s small enough, but it’s not going to thrill anyone.
The water temperature is 85°, with a 0.5° anomaly – pretty average for this time of year, nothing wild.
There’s a nod to a slightly better opportunity on Saturday, 25 July morning, with a 2-foot, 10-second swell from the east, but the combined energy is only 71, and it’s still rated as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” The wind is light from the SSE, so it’ll be clean, but it’s still a dud.
After that, it’s back to the same old story – tiny, weak swells with cross-shore or onshore winds. The afternoon of 24 July has a 3-foot ESE swell with a period of 8 seconds and energy hitting 100, but the wind is a moderate cross-shore from the SE, chopping it up. Not worth it.
Overall, if you’re desperate for a paddle, Thursday, 23 July afternoon is the pick of a very sorry bunch, but don’t expect much. The whole setup is more interesting for a kite surfer on a windy day than a paddle surfer. The breaks are fairly consistent in terms of frequency, but the quality just isn’t there. It’s a tough run, but that’s the hand we’ve been dealt.
