The Lowdown
Alright, folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and frustrating for the Sebastian Inlet area. There’s no swell on the horizon worth paddling out for, and to be honest, it’s one of those stretches where you might be better off finding another hobby for a while.
The water is sitting at 82°, which is about 3° colder than it usually is this time of year. That’s a bit of a shock to the system when you first get in, but it’s not crazy.
We start off this Friday, August 7th, with some wind and a stormy vibe. There’s a 5ft swell coming from the east, but it’s short-period and choppy, with a cross-onshore wind blowing at 16 mph. It’s gonna be messy out there, and the energy is only moderate, at 208. Not worth your time. Saturday and Sunday are still poor, with the swell dropping to around 3ft and 2ft, but the wind stays cross-shore and it’s just not clean.
Monday through Thursday of next week are a total write-off. We’re talking ankle-biters at 1ft, 0.7ft, and even 0.3ft on Thursday. The combined energy drops way down to single digits and low tens. There was a brief glassy moment on Tuesday morning, with the wind going completely light, but with only 1ft of swell on tap, you’re just floating around.
The following weekend, the 15th and 16th, sees a tiny bump up to 2ft from the southeast, but the periods are super short, around 5 seconds. The energy is still weak, in the 20s and 30s. There’s a glassy window on Sunday morning, the 16th, but again, there’s just nothing to push you around.
We have a long run of nothing until around Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd, where the swell tries to pick up to 2ft and 3ft, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s going to be lumpy and uninviting. The energy is still just moderate at best, around 60-80.
Honestly, there are zero good surf options in this whole window. This stretch of flatness can happen around here, but with the inlet being as consistent as it usually is, it’s a bit of a bummer. A blank run like this doesn’t usually last forever, and a change in the forecast could flip things around, but as it stands right now, don’t get your hopes up. If you’re desperate, the beach breaks might be more interesting for kite surfing with that cross-shore breeze, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a no-go.
Keep it salty.
