The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak swells and a lot of onshore or side-shore wind. The water’s running a bit colder than usual for this time of year at 81°F and the energy just isn’t there. Honestly, there’s not a single standout session in the whole window. The first week is a write-off, and the second week doesn’t offer much more.
The action starts Tuesday, 4th August, but it’s a struggle. Morning at Sebastian Inlet-Second Peak sees a tiny 1ft east swell with a short 8-second period. The combined energy is a weak 18, and while the wind is light offshore from the SW, it’s not enough to make this worth paddling out for. The afternoon shifts to a light cross-onshore breeze and the waves are still poor.
Wednesday, 5th August, the morning goes glassy, which is a tease, but the swell is still a pathetic 1ft (E, 7s). Combined energy is just 17. It’s flat, my friends. Thursday and Friday bring a slight bump up to 3ft and 4ft, but the period is junk (4-6 seconds) and the winds are cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. Combined energy on Friday morning hits 90, but it’s not enough to save it.
The weekend of 7th and 8th August sees the swell peak at 4ft from the east, but the period is still a poor 7-8 seconds. The wind is cross-shore or cross-onshore, so expect a bumpy, low-quality lineup. The combined energy on Saturday morning is 170, which is moderate, but the wind and short period ruin it. This is a poor surf setup – more suited to a kite than a paddle.
From Monday, 10th August, all the way through to Wednesday, 19th August, it’s the same story: tiny waves (0.7ft to 3ft), weak energy (mostly below 50), and the odd morning of clean cross-off or offshore wind that’s wasted on flat water. The swell directions are all from the east or southeast, which is fine for the inlet, but there’s just no power. The best you’ll get is a glassy or clean 1.0ft to 1ft wave, which is barely a ripple.
There is a gap of several days where the surf is essentially non-existent for a recommendation. It’s a bleak run. Sebastian Inlet is a consistent spot, so it’s a bit of a surprise, but the forecasts are what they are. We’ll have to hope things change. For now, leave the boards at home.
Rusty.
