The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down for this stretch of coast.
Honestly, the next 16 days at St Andrews State Park are looking pretty grim. We’re looking at a long, flat spell. The water is a warm 86°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only good thing going on.
The first real surf recommendation doesn’t pop up until Friday, August 22nd, and even then it’s barely a bump. That’s a solid 10-day gap from the start of the period with nothing worth paddling for. For most of the first week and a half, we’re stuck with onshore winds and flat, choppy seas. There’s a brief moment of glass on Saturday morning, August 15th, but with zero swell energy, it’s just a flat, oily ocean.
The only time we see a little pulse is on Saturday, August 22nd, during the morning. We’re looking at a tiny 2ft swell coming from the WNW, with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 36, which is just a whisper of wave energy. The wind is a light onshore breeze, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. This is really for the beginner crew or anyone just desperate to get wet. It’s not a stand-out; it’s just the only thing on offer. The rest of the 16-day run is scattered with more flat spells, glassy mornings with no swell, and light onshore afternoons.
Rusty.
