The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been watching this stretch of coast like a hawk. Right now, we’ve got a long, flat spell ahead. The first surfable waves don’t show up until Wednesday 19 August, so you’re looking at a solid week-plus of nothing to ride. From today, Monday 10 August, all the way through to Tuesday 18 August, it’s basically a lake out there – tiny bumps, messy onshore winds, and scores of zero. Not even a ripple worth paddling for.
St Andrews State Park is a beach and jetty setup, exposed to SW swell. Water temp is sitting at 86°F, which is about 1°F warmer than average for this time of year – nothing wild, just a touch toastier than usual.
The best of a very average bunch lands on Wednesday 19 August morning. We’ve got a 3 ft swell from the west, period around 5 seconds, so it’s a short-period windswell, not a proper groundswell. Combined energy is weak (53). The wind is light from the ENE, cross-offshore, and the report says “clean” – that’s the key. For a spot that’s been dead for over a week, this is the standout. It’s small, knee-high at best, and the jetty might help focus it a little. Crowds are possible here – it’s listed as “sometimes” busy. Not a day for heroics, but you’ll get a few rides if you’re patient.
The rest of the period is more of the same: tiny swells, mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds, and poor surf conditions. Thursday 20 August and Friday 21 August have some glassy mornings, but swell is only 2–2 ft from the west, with combined energy in the teens – barely enough to break. Saturday 22 August and Sunday 23 August offer a bit of clean early wind, but again, the swell is tiny and weak.
Honestly, if you’re a kiter, those mid-week afternoons with 12 mph onshore winds might be more interesting than what’s on offer for a paddle surfer. For surfers, it’s a waiting game. The forecasts can change, and this spot is fairly consistent, so it won’t stay dead forever. But for now, it’s flat.
Rusty.
