The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cookin’ for Sebastian Inlet-First Peak (beach/jetty) over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it’s a tough stretch. The water’s a bit colder than normal for this time of year, sitting around 81.3°, which is a touch chilly for August. But the real story is the lack of any decent swell. We’re staring down a long, flat run.
Things start off Monday, August 3rd, with tiny 1.3ft easterly swell and a period of 8 seconds. The morning does have a clean, offshore wind from the SW, but with combined wave energy of just 21, it’s barely a ripple. Afternoon turns cross-shore and messy. Tuesday and Wednesday are much the same – we’re talking 1.6ft waves with weak energy (29 and 59) and light, variable winds that keep things clean but not surfable.
Thursday, August 6th, the swell bumps up a little to 2.6ft with a short, choppy 5-second period from the ESE, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s just a messy, crumbly mess. Energy is still low at 35. Friday, August 7th, is the biggest we’ll see for a while, with 4.3ft to 4.6ft of east swell, but the period is a woeful 6-7 seconds and the wind is a solid 15-16 mph cross-onshore. That’s a choppy, blown-out 4.6ft closeout. The energy hits 188, but it’s all wind-slop, not real surf. For a beach/jetty setup, this is looking more like a kiteboarding day than a paddle day.
From Saturday, August 8th, we slide back down. The swell drops to 3.6ft, then 2.6ft, and the winds stay cross to cross-onshore. The following week is a wasteland. From Monday, August 10th, all the way through to Tuesday, August 18th, we’re stuck in a rut of 1.0ft to 1.6ft easterly dribble with periods below 8 seconds and energy readings that barely crack 30. There are a couple of glassy mornings on the 15th and 16th, but with only 1.0ft of swell, it’s flat calm, not surfable.
Bottom line: there are no standout days here. The entire 16-day window is a blank run. The inlet is very consistent normally, but this stretch is a bust. The best you can hope for is a knee-high bump on the Friday morning of the 7th, but the wind will ruin it. For an area that usually fires, this is a weird, quiet spell. Forecasts can change, but right now, keep the boards in the car and go for a swim.
