The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you. Looking at the next 16 days for St Andrews State Park, it's a pretty flat spell. There’s nothing to get excited about right now, and honestly, for a spot that is exposed to the swell, it tends not to stay this poor for long, so forecasts can change. But as it stands, we're looking at a long stretch of nothing.
The first record shows September 8th, but it’s a write-off. Tuesday morning is a total bust with zero energy and a cross-offshore wind from the east at 12 mph. The whole first week is a struggle. We see tiny little waves, mostly 1 ft or less, with periods as short as 2 to 5 seconds. That’s pure wind chop if anything. The combined energy is weak, with values like 1, 2, or 3 (moderate wave energy is a three-digit number, so this is nothing). Winds are generally cross-on or onshore from the south or southwest, which just messes up any tiny bump that might show.
There is a brief moment of calm on Sunday, September 13th, when the wind goes glassy in the morning, but the swell is still only 1 ft from the south with a period of 3 seconds. The energy is only 2 (weak). It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride. The same pattern repeats on the 14th, 15th, and 17th with glassy mornings but with waves that don't even reach 1 ft.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report.
The best we can hope for is a tiny uptick right at the end of the forecast. On Wednesday, September 23rd, the morning looks clean with a light easterly wind at 6 mph. The swell is from the southeast at 1 ft, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy finally hits 19 (weak), which is the highest we’ve seen. It’s still poor surf conditions, but it’s the closest thing to a pulse. For a break that's a beach/jetty setup, this is definitely not worth a paddle.
Honestly, for the next two weeks, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It's a long, flat run. I’d keep an eye on the forecasts, but don't hold your breath.
Rusty.
