The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you. Looking at the next 16 days, I gotta tell ya, it's a tough stretch for Sebastian Inlet First Peak. We’re looking at a long, flat spell to kick things off.
Over the next week, the surf is going to be tiny. We're talking ankle-snappers. From Friday the 4th through to at least the following Saturday the 12th, the swell is not going to crack 3 ft. It's mostly in the 0.7 ft to 1 ft range, with a very weak combined swell energy. The winds are a mixed bag, but with that little energy, it's just not going to be worth paddling out.
Now, there is a glimmer of something a week and a half out. On Monday the 14th, we see a pulse of short-period, onshore wind swell bump up. The morning is showing a 5 ft swell from the ENE, though with a period of only 6 seconds and a strong onshore wind at 15 mph, it'll be a messy, choppy affair. The combined energy jumps, which is moderate, but the wind is ruining it. This is more of a kitesurfing or windsurfing scenario than a clean surfing one, if you’re into that.
The rest of the second week looks similar. We see waves, but they are constantly plagued by onshore or cross-onshore winds, keeping the surface bumpy. The swell is small, the period is short, and the juice isn't there for any quality. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Honestly, if you're looking to surf pure, clean waves at First Peak, this 16-day window is a washout. It's a long wait. Maybe go for a fish, or tune up your board. The forecast can always change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.
