The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking flat as a pancake around here. We've got a long stretch ahead with nothing really to get excited about, so if you're hanging for a wave, you might want to find something else to do for a while.
Right now, Saturday the 12th is a write-off. St Andrews State Park is showing a tiny 1ft of weak, short-period swell from the southwest, and the cross-onshore wind is just chopping it up. Combined wave energy is a measly (3), so it's not even worth paddling out for. The water's sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only interesting thing going on.
Sunday the 13th is glassy in the morning, which would usually be a good sign, but there's absolutely no swell at all. The afternoon picks up a little onshore breeze, but still no waves. We're looking at a similar story through Monday and Tuesday – tiny bumps of swell, if you can even call them that, with clean conditions but nothing to ride.
From Wednesday the 16th onwards, we start to see a bit more consistency in the wind, with some offshore and glassy periods, but the swell just isn't there. We're talking 1ft to 2ft at best, with combined energy barely scraping double digits (16 at its peak on the 16th morning). It's clean, sure, but it's not surfable. This pattern of clean, tiny waves or flat spells continues right through to the end of the forecast period on Sunday the 27th.
Honestly, there isn't a single standout session in the entire 16 days. The swell is too weak, too short-period, and the energy just isn't there. It's a frustrating run of flatness for the area. Maybe the forecasts will change, but right now, it's a solid skip.
Rusty.
