The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Sebastian Inlet-Third Peak over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. We're looking at a long, long dry spell. For the first eleven days, from Monday the 13th right through to Thursday the 24th, it's pretty much a write-off. The swell is tiny, barely a ripple, with wave heights hanging around 0.7ft to 1.3ft, and coming from the east or northeast. The energy is weak, with combined energy readings mostly in the single digits or teens. A few mornings here and there, like Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th, you'll see glassy conditions with the wind off the land, but there's just nothing to ride. It's sad, but it's the truth.
The little glimmer of hope starts to show up on Friday the 24th of July. The afternoon session finally sees a slight bump in energy, hitting 91 on the combined energy scale, with a 2.6ft swell from the east. The wind will be a cross-off at 9 mph, keeping things clean. But it's still a short-period swell at 7 seconds, and the conditions are described as "surfable waves but very ordinary". It's a start, but don't expect any fireworks.
The rest of the window into the end of July and the start of August is a mixed bag of similar small, weak swells. You'll see some clean mornings with offshore winds, like Sunday the 26th, where the combined energy climbs to 68, but the wave height is still only 2.3ft. It's a long wait for some knee-high dribblers.
Honestly, the standout window, if you can call it that, is Friday the 24th of July afternoon through to Sunday the 26th of July. For this area, it's the best we've got. The swell direction is from the east, which is the optimum direction for this break, and we'll see some workable conditions. But it's not a classic. The water temperature is a balmy 84°, which is bang on average for the time of year, so you won't need a thick suit.
It's a bleak outlook, mates. Pour a coffee and watch the forecast.
