The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, but in feet and miles.
Let’s be honest, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak waves coming, so don’t get excited for anything big. The first real chance to paddle out isn’t until Thursday morning, September 3rd, and even then, it’s more about the conditions than the power.
Thursday morning, September 3rd, at Sebastian Inlet-First Peak is your best bet. We’re looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the east, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is weak, at 84, so there’s not much behind it. The water temp is about 83°, which is normal for the time of year. The real winner here is the wind: dead calm, glassy. That’s a major positive. The waves will be clean, but they’re small and very ordinary. This is a beginner-friendly size, so if you’ve got a longboard or a foamie, this is your window.
The rest of the forecast is a write-off. Thursday afternoon gets messy with a cross-shore breeze, and from Friday, September 4th, all the way through to Friday, September 18th, it’s a series of poor surf conditions. The swell stays tiny, mostly below 2ft, and the wind is either onshore, cross-shore, or just generally not cooperating. There are a few mornings with glassy or offshore winds, like Sunday the 6th, Monday the 7th, and Friday the 11th, but the swell is so weak – often under 1ft – that it’s barely worth paddling out for. The combined energy values are mostly in the single digits or low double digits, which tells you the ocean is flat and tired.
A couple of mornings in the second week, like Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th, show glassy or offshore wind, but again, the swell is a pathetic 1ft to 1ft. It’s just not enough to push a surfboard around.
So, the standout is Thursday morning, September 3rd. It’s the only session with a glimmer of hope. For the rest of the 16 days, you’re looking at a long, flat run. The area is known for this, so don’t be too surprised. Forecasts can change, but right now, keep your board in the car and be ready for a quick, small-wave session if you’re desperate.
Rusty.
