The Lowdown
Alright folks, I’m gonna be straight with you – this is one of those quiet spells where Mother Nature just isn’t sending us any love from the Gulf. St Andrews State Park is looking at a long stretch of flatness, so don’t be rushing down there with the boards stacked.
It all starts Thursday, September 10th, and we’re dead flat. A little SE breeze at 6 mph, but no swell at all – the combined energy is (0). Friday doesn’t get any better with a tiny 1ft windswell from the SSW, a weak 3-second period. Saturday and Sunday? Same story. A bit of glassy water on the 13th from the WNW at 3 mph, but still nothing to paddle for.
The whole first week into Wednesday the 16th is just scraps. The best of this poor run is maybe Wednesday afternoon with a 1ft SSE swell, 5-second period, and light cross-on wind, but the energy is only (7). That’s barely knee-high.
We see a tiny lift around Thursday the 17th into the next week. Thursday afternoon shows a 2ft swell from the S at 6 seconds, energy bumps to (25) – at least something’s trying. The winds turn offshore or cross-offshore from the ENE and NNE, so the water will be glassy. Still, it's small.
Through September 22nd and 23rd we get some consistency with 1ft SSE swell, 6-second period, and clean offshore winds from the NE and NNE at 9-12 mph. Energy sits around (13-15). If you’re dying for a wave, a longboarder might catch a little thigh-high runner at the jetty. It’s a beach and jetty break, and with this tiny swell, it’s strictly for beginners. Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
By the 25th, it’s back to flat. There’s no single standout session in this whole 16-day outlook. It’s a long dry spell – not the norm for this area, but it happens. Keep an eye on it, forecasts can shift.
Rusty out.
