The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what’s cookin’ at Sebastian Inlet-Third Peak. I’ll level with you – this 16-day run is a tough one.
We start off with a long flat spell. The water’s a touch cooler than usual at 28°, running about 1° below the norm, so you’ll notice it but it’s not crazy.
The first week is all tiny, weak windswell. Swell heights are barely above a foot, mostly 0.5ft to 3ft, coming from the east with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is anemic, mostly in the teens to low 80s (the highest is 81 on Friday morning). Friday the 24th is poor with cross-on winds from the ENE at 9 mph making it choppy. Not worth your time.
Saturday the 25th morning cleans up with a light southerly breeze, offering a glassy surface, but it’s still only 2ft. You could slide around on some knee-high sliders, but it’s nothing to write home about. The rest of that weekend and Monday stay tiny – 1ft to 2ft – with clean conditions but zero push.
From Tuesday the 28th through early August, we see consistent offshore winds from the WSW at 9 to 15 mph. That’s a great sign, but there’s no swell to groom. Heights sit at 1ft or less, and the wave energy drops into the teens. It’s flat as a pancake. This is the kind of setup that looks more fun for a kite than a paddleboard.
The first few days of August are the same story – 1ft to 2ft, weak energy, and a couple of glassy mornings on August 3rd and 5th, but the waves are practically non-existent.
We get a tiny glimmer of hope around August 6th with a longer period of 12 seconds from the ENE, which suggests some deeper ocean energy, but the swell height is only 0.7ft. Can’t surf that. Then August 7th and 8th get worse with a chaotic 4 to 5 second period from the SE and ESE, plus a cross-on chop. It’s a mess.
If I had to point you to the best moment, it’d be the clean glassy window on the morning of Saturday, July 25th, but that’s just a sad little wave. After that, there’s a huge dead zone for nearly two full weeks. The second week is a ghost town. Sometimes the ocean just takes a nap, and this is one of those times. Leave the board in the car and go grab a coffee.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Sebastian Inlet-Third Peak may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
