The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for scoring waves here at Sebastian Inlet-Third Peak (beach/jetty). We’ve got a stretch of tiny, mostly messy surf ahead, so keep the board waxed but don’t get your hopes up too high.
The only half-decent window comes up this Sunday afternoon, August 2nd. We’re looking at ankle to knee-high lines, around 2ft, coming out of the ESE with a fairly short 8-second period. The energy behind it is pretty weak, only measuring 57. The water temp is sitting at 81°, which runs a bit colder than normal for this time of year, something to keep in mind. It’s glassy out there, which will make it look cleaner than it is, but the risk of thunderstorms is a real buzzkill. It’s honestly only worth a paddle if you’re desperate to get wet. After that, it’s a dry spell.
From Monday the 3rd through the 6th, the swell drops out entirely. We’re talking 1ft to 2ft junk with onshore or cross-shore winds messing with what little texture there is. Not worth the drive.
Friday the 7th sees a small bump in size, with waves reaching 4ft to 5ft, but it’s coming in short-period and chopped up by moderate east winds. The energy does climb into the moderate range (141-177), but the quality is just poor. Saturday the 8th holds similar size, around 3ft to 4ft, but it’s cross-shore and lumpy. This whole stretch is a pass.
The second week turns into a real drought. From the 9th all the way through the 17th, wave heights stay between 0.7ft and 3ft, with periods dropping off hard. The energy is mostly weak, often below 100. If there’s any highlight, it might be a couple of cleaner mornings on the 11th and 12th with light offshore winds, but the waves are just too small to do anything on.
Honestly, the setup here for the next couple of weeks looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, especially when the breeze fills in. The long-range outlook is grim, but near-term, Sunday afternoon is your only real shot, and it’s a weak one.
Keep an eye on the charts, things can change, but for now, it’s a whole lot of nothing.
