The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it.
Looking at this 16-day window for St Andrews State Park, the surf is basically a no-go. We're looking at a long, dry spell with nothing to get excited about. No standouts, no days to circle on the calendar. The whole thing is just flat and messy.
Right from the start of September, the wave energy is pathetic. The combined swell energy is a flat zero for most of the first week. Tuesday morning and afternoon might see a tiny 0.1m to 0.4m swell, but it's from the SW or SSW with a period of only 2 to 5 seconds – that's just wind chop, not a real wave. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and ugly. The forecast is a poor surf conditions call for every single period.
This flat stretch runs for nearly two weeks. We get a tiny bump around the 12th of September, with a 0.4m swell from the SW and a period of 3 seconds, but the combined energy only reaches 5 (5). That's still barely anything. The morning of the 12th has a clean cross-offshore wind from the NNW, but the swell is so small and weak it's not worth a drive. Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing special.
After that, it's back to flat and onshore. The 16th of September shows a tiny 0.1m from the S with a clean morning, but again, it's insignificant.
For a beach and jetty setup like this, with such poor surf quality and onshore winds, the whole forecast looks more interesting for a kiteboard than a surfboard. There's just no swell to work with. I hate to say it, but this is one of those blank runs where you're better off doing something else. The forecasts can change, but for now, it's a hard pass.
Stay patient,
Rusty.
