The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the surf for Sebastian Inlet-First Peak.

Right off the bat, I’ll be straight with you: it’s looking pretty quiet for the next two weeks. The forecast shows a long stretch of small, weak surf without any real standout sessions. You’ll be waiting a while for anything that gets the heart rate up.

The water temperature at the start sits at 85°, which is about average for this time of year, so you don’t need a thick suit—just boardshorts.

The first few days, from Friday the 21st of August through the weekend, are all about tiny swells. Morning conditions on Friday are clean with light offshore wind from the WSW at 3 mph, but the swell is a mere 1 ft from the east at 8 seconds. The combined energy is only 13—that’s weak. Saturday and Sunday mornings look clean, even glassy at times, but the wave height doesn’t budge past 1 ft to 2 ft. It’s clean, sure, but you’ll be scratching for a ride.

Moving into the next week, Monday the 24th through Wednesday the 26th, it stays small. Some mornings are glassy, like Monday and Tuesday, but the swell tops out at 2 ft at best. On Wednesday afternoon there’s a weird spike in swell period to 18 seconds with a tiny 0.3 ft wave—that’s super long period but zero size, so it’s not going to do anything for you.

Around Friday the 28th of August there’s a little nudge. The combined energy jumps to 112 (moderate) with a 2 ft east swell at 9 seconds. Afternoon winds are cross-onshore at 9 mph, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. This is about as close to “something” as we get, but it’s still small and choppy. It’s not a standout.

From Saturday the 29th of August all the way through to the end of the period on the 5th of September, it’s the same tune. Swell stays under 3 ft, mostly from the east or southeast, with periods around 5 to 9 seconds. Winds are often cross-onshore or cross, keeping the surface textured. The only bright spot might be the morning of Thursday the 3rd of September with light 6 mph cross-onshore wind and a 1 ft east swell—but that’s still marginal.

Honestly, there’s no true standout here. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the cleanest windows are the glassy mornings on the 23rd, 24th, and 25th of August—but don’t expect waves. It’s more of a flat spell than a surf window.

Overall, this is a long stretch of quiet conditions. For an exposed beach/jetty like this, a blank run like this isn't unusual, and forecasts can shift, but right now it’s not worth the drive unless you’re after a flat water session.

Rusty.
