The Lowdown
Alright, let me break it down for you. It's grim. St Andrews State Park is looking at a long, flat spell.
Starting this Sunday, the 23rd of August, and running for days, it's all ankle-biters – 0.7ft to 1ft from the WSW and SW with onshore or cross-onshore wind. The combined swell energy is pathetic, hanging around (1) or (2) – no power at all. There's one glassy moment on the morning of the 28th of August, but the swell is still just 0.7ft from the SSE with a 5-second period. Clean, but nothing to surf. Then we hit a stretch of absolute flatness from the 29th of August through the 1st of September, with zero swell – literally (0). The water is a touch warmer than normal at 87°F, but it won't matter.
We get a tiny bump from the 3rd of September. Morning of the 3rd sees 2ft from the W with a 4-second period and onshore wind – still no good. Energy picks up a little on the 4th to (20), but it's cross-onshore and messy. The biggest pulse is the morning of the 5th of September, with 2ft from the W, but it's wrecked by a 9 mph cross-onshore breeze. By the 7th of September, it's back to glassy mornings with zero swell.
Honestly, there's no surf to be had. This is a classic dry spell for the area. For anyone thinking of paddling out, save the energy. That onshore wind and tiny swell on a few days might make it more interesting for a kite surfer than anyone with a surfboard.
