Rusty here again, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this outlook is a bummer. We're talking about Sebastian Inlet-First Peak, and for the full 16-day run starting now, it’s dead flat.
Every single session from Tuesday morning straight through to Wednesday, July 22nd, is showing poor surf conditions. That’s a long, quiet stretch. The combined energy of all swells directed here is barely reaching double digits most days—things like 17 or 11 or even 6 (moderate energy)—which is about as weak as it gets. We’re looking at tiny waves, 0.7ft to 2ft, from the east or southeast, with periods of 8 seconds or less. That’s just not going to produce anything rideable at a beach/jetty spot like this.
The water’s warm enough at 84°—about average for the time of year—so at least it’s comfortable to sit in, even if there’s nothing to ride.
There are some mornings with glassy conditions—like Sunday July 12th, Monday July 13th, and Wednesday July 15th—when the wind is light out of the west at 3 mph. The surface will be clean, but with swell at 0.7ft or 1.0ft, it’s still a lake. Same story on the 17th and 18th July mornings, with light offshore breezes but still barely a bump.
I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: there’s nothing to highlight here. No bigger swell, no lined-up wind with any power. This is a total blank run, and for this area, it’s not the usual pattern—we normally see a little more action. The upside is it never stays this quiet for long, and forecasts can flip. But for now, if you’re jonesing for something, you might want to grab a kite, because those afternoon cross-shore breezes hitting 15 to 18 mph on the 18th and 19th might give a kite surfer something fun to play with.
Check back in a week, things could change. This is Rusty, signing off.

Information about the Sebastian Inlet-First Peak Surf forecast
