The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at the surf for Sebastian Inlet-Third Peak over the next 16 days. I’ll be straight with you, mate – it’s a grim run. The forecast is almost entirely flat with tiny, weak swell and the conditions are pretty ordinary. The water temp is sitting at a warm 84°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least a dip won’t be a shock.
We’ve got a massive gap of no real surf – from now right through to the morning of Friday the 25th of July. That’s over a week of nothing worth paddling out for. Swell heights are stuck between 0.7ft and 2ft for this whole period, with combined swell energy barely cracking 20-30 (weak). Winds are mostly cross or cross-off, with a few glassy moments on the afternoon of Friday the 24th when the wind drops to 0 mph, but the swell is still a pathetic 1ft. It’s just not gonna do anything.
The first real sniff of a wave shows up on the morning of Saturday the 25th of July. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the east with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 123 (moderate). That’s the standout of the whole outlook, and it’s not saying much. The morning has light southerly cross-off wind, so it’ll be clean. The afternoon sees the wind shift to a cross-shore, chopping it up, so the morning is your window. It’s still small, small stuff, but it’s the best on offer.
After that, it drops right back into the doldrums. From the 26th of July onward, we’re back to 0.7ft to 2ft waves with combined energy in the teens and low twenties. The wind stays light and clean for the most part, with some offshore mornings on the 27th, 28th, 29th, and 30th of July, but the swell just isn’t there. The 1st of August looks the same – tiny and clean, but a cruiser-board wave at best.
Honestly, this is a tough stretch. If you’re desperate, the morning of the 25th of July is the one to aim for. It’s not gonna be pumping, but it’s the only time the energy gets close to surfable. Otherwise, you’re better off waiting for the next system.
Rusty.
