The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the straight talk. For the next 16 days at Sebastian Inlet-Third Peak, it's a tough scene. We're looking at a whole lot of flat, weak conditions. The swell is tiny, the energy is low, and that's the story for pretty much the whole run. There are no standouts here, no days to circle on the calendar. The first real chance at anything that isn't a complete write-off doesn't show up until Tuesday, July 28th, and even then it's a slim one.
Right now, from Sunday the 19th all the way through Monday the 27th, it's a grind. Wave heights are mostly under 2 ft, with periods of just 4 to 8 seconds, meaning weak, short-period windswell. The combined energy is pitifully low, sitting in the teens to low 80s. The winds are a mix of cross and cross-off, which is okay, but the swell just isn't there to back it up. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no complaints there.
Things start to look slightly less hopeless on Tuesday, July 28th. The morning brings a glassy, clean surface with a light offshore breeze from the WSW. The swell is still tiny at 2 ft, but the period is a bit better at 8 seconds, and the combined energy bumps up to 42. The report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," which is about as optimistic as it gets. This is the best on offer, but it's still a very small, weak wave. It's a beginner-friendly size, but only if you're a total beginner looking for a gentle push. Don't expect anything powerful.
The rest of the period, from July 29th through to August 3rd, is more of the same. Swell stays under 2 ft with energy in the teens and thirties. Winds are often offshore or cross-off, keeping the surface clean, but there's simply no energy in the water to make it worthwhile. The afternoon of July 31st gets a bit choppy with a cross-onshore wind. This is a classic summer flat spell. It's just how it goes sometimes, and the forecasts can always change, but for now, leave the boards at home and save the energy for a better day.
Rusty.
