The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you – the surf forecast for St Andrews State Park over the next 16 days is a real tough one to read. We're looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple to get excited about.
We start off with a bit of a tease on Monday, September 7th. St Andrews State Park has a tiny 1ft swell from the SW, but with a period of just 3 seconds, it's got no push. The wind is glassy in the morning, which is a treat, but the wave energy is a measly (2). It's just not enough to paddle for. The water temp is about average for the time of year, but that's small comfort.
From there, it’s a desert. Tuesday the 8th through the weekend is a mix of onshore winds and tiny, weak swells, most of which are under 2ft. The combined energy is stuck in the single digits, barely registering. We get a few glassy mornings, like on Thursday the 10th and Monday the 14th, but there's zero swell to go with them. The forecast is consistently showing "poor surf conditions" all the way through.
The pattern barely shifts. We see a few afternoons with a little 0.3ft to 1ft bump, but it's always accompanied by a moderate onshore or cross-onshore wind, making it a choppy mess. The swell direction is all over the place – SW, SSE, S – but none of it has the period to do anything. Even towards the end of the second week, around the 19th and 20th of September, we're still looking at tiny 0.6ft bumps with no real energy (energy values of 2 or 3). The best we can say is that on the morning of Tuesday the 22nd, we get a gentle offshore breeze, but the swell is gone completely.
Honestly, there's not a single standout session in this 16-day window. This is one of those stretches where the ocean is just taking a nap. It's a blank run, but for this area, it’s not unheard of. The only thing that might be worth a mention is if you're into kite surfing, because the onshore winds on days like Friday the 11th or Saturday the 12th would be more interesting for that than for a paddle board.
Keep your eyes on the forecasts, though. It tends not to stay poor for long.
Rusty.
