The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real with you – the next 16 days at St Andrews State Park look flat and mean. Most of it is small, weak swell with rotten onshore winds. The only day worth even talking about is way out on Saturday the 22nd, and even that’s just barely a blip. Long stretch of nothing, so here’s the full rundown.
Swell stays tiny, mostly under 2 feet, with short periods of 3-5 seconds – no push to ’em. The wind blows from the wrong direction almost every day, keeping it choppy and messy. Even on Saturday morning the 15th, when it’s glassy, there’s only 0.7 feet of swell, so you can’t do anything. The wave energy is pathetic, often just a few points – combined energy from all swells is as low as 1 or 6 (weak).
Then Saturday, August 22nd, we get a very small bump. The morning shows 3 feet of swell from the WSW with a 5-second period, and it’s flat calm – no wind, glassy surface. Combined energy of all swells hits 42 (moderate). The wave report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – that’s the best we get. It’s a beach and jetty spot, exposed to SW swell, and the ideal swell direction for quality is SW, so that morning lines up. For a beginner, under 5 feet is fine, and this is 3 feet – barely thigh-high. That’s your one chance, but don’t get stoked.
Sunday the 23rd morning shows 3 feet from the WSW at 6 seconds, with light cross-shore wind (6 mph), but it’s still marked as poor surf. Energy gets up to 73 (moderate), but the quality isn’t there.
This kind of dead run is what happens here sometimes when there’s no swell. Could shift, but right now it’s not looking good. For the glassy session on the 22nd morning, you might get a slippery little wave, but that’s it.
