The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for our little stretch of coast.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking pretty bleak. We’re staring down the barrel of a long, flat spell here. For the next couple of weeks, the ocean is basically takin’ a nap. There’s just no energy coming through. The first few days, we’ve got a few tiny, tiny bumps – we’re talking ankle-snappers at best – but nothing that’s gonna get you out of bed. From around September 21st onwards, it goes totally dead. We’re lookin’ at a solid week or more with zero surfable swell, just flat calm conditions. It’s one of those stretches where you might as well bust out the longboard for a paddle or take up fishing.
The only real option we have to talk about is St Andrews State Park. This is a beach and jetty setup, and it’s usually consistent, but even it can’t make something out of nothing. The water’s runnin’ real warm – about 87°F – which is way hotter than normal for this time of year. Feels like bathwater out there.
If you’re absolutely desperate for a paddle, you could look at Saturday, September 19th. The afternoon shows a tiny pulse of swell, maybe 2ft from the SE, but it’s a short-period, weak windswell with combined energy of only (14). The winds are gonna be cross-onshore and bumpy, so it’s not gonna be pretty. Honestly, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing with that onshore breeze and small, choppy waves.
Otherwise, you might get a glassy moment on the morning of Sunday, September 27th, with a whisper of swell at 0.3ft, but that’s it. There’s nothing here that’s a standout. The whole forecast is a dud. A blank run like this is pretty normal for the area when there’s no tropical activity or strong fronts to kick things up. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long wait.
Stay tuned, and maybe clean the wax off your board anyway. You never know.
Rusty.

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 St Andrews State Park 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.
