Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking flat and pretty depressing out there for a while.
For the next couple of weeks, the wave energy is just not showing up. We’re looking at tiny, weak surf from the east, with readings way down in the double digits for combined swell energy – we’re talking numbers like 17, 20, 22 (weak energy). The swell direction is hanging around E and ESE, but with heights barely scraping 1 ft to 2 ft and periods mostly around 8 seconds or less, there’s just no push behind it.
There are a few glassy mornings, like Sunday July 12th and Monday July 13th, with the wind going light and offshore from the WSW or W, which would make the water look pretty. But with only 1 ft on offer, that’s a total knee-slapper, not really a session. There's a morning here and there with a little cross-off breeze, like Tuesday July 14th and Thursday July 16th, but again, the swell is just too small to get excited about.
Things perk up just a tiny bit around Friday July 18th, with a bump to 2 ft from the SE, but the period drops to a windy, junky 4 seconds. That’s not a wave you want to be paddling for. By Saturday July 19th afternoon, the wind might be up to 18 mph, which is more kite-surfing weather than paddle surfing. The setup at Sebastian Inlet-Third Peak is a beach/jetty scenario, and with that kind of onshore flow and weak chop, it’s just not going to be fun.
From now all the way through to July 22nd, there is honestly no standout day. The whole stretch has no real recommendations. It’s a long, flat run. For an area that can be fairly consistent, this is a tough stretch, but forecasts can change, so don’t throw the boards in the attic just yet.
Stay tuned, but for now, it’s a no-go.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
