The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s happening for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a real quiet stretch ahead. The first proper surf that’s worth even mentioning doesn’t show up until Saturday, August 8th. Before that, it’s a whole lot of tiny, weak swell with junk wind – basically a write-off from now until then. You’re looking at over a week of flat, poor conditions.

That Saturday morning, the 8th, we finally see a little pulse of life. Sebastian Inlet-First Peak will be the spot to check. The water is running a bit colder than normal for this time of year, about 81°, so a degree or two off the usual – nothing crazy, but you might feel it. The swell is tiny, pushing in at about 3 ft from the east, with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is moderate, sitting at 98, and the best part is the wind: glassy. Dead calm. That makes it clean and rideable, but it’s not going to blow your mind – just a few small, soft waves for the log or a funboard. It’s very consistent here, so you’ll get plenty of little rollers, but crowds are sometimes an issue, and with how small it is, everyone will be fighting for the same crumbly peak.

The next morning, Sunday the 9th, also starts glassy with a little 2 ft wave from the east, but it’s even weaker. Not a stand-out, just a session if you’re desperate. After that, the swell drops back to tiny, and the cross-shore winds creep in again, killing the vibe.

Further out, around the 12th and 13th of August, we get a shift. A bit of a longer period groundswell shows up – 12 seconds on the 12th, 11 seconds on the 13th – coming from the east-northeast. The energy is moderate (74 and 73), but the swell height is still only about 1 ft. That’s super small. And at the inlet, a long-period swell this size and direction can be a bit tricky, though it should produce some lined-up runners if you’re patient. The morning of the 12th has clean, cross-off wind, which is a major plus. But the afternoon wind picks up and messes it. It’s promising, but with such minimal height, it’s a gamble. Not a true standout.

The best window in this whole 16-day forecast is that glassy Saturday morning, the 8th of August, at First Peak. It’s the only time everything aligns for a clean, surfable wave, even if it’s small. After that, it’s back to paddling practice.

Rusty.
