The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I'm lookin' at the 16-day picture for St Andrews State Park. It's a beach and jetty setup, and normally it's consistent here, but for this stretch of time, I gotta be straight with you – it's gonna be a long, dry spell.
We're looking at practically no surf at all for the entire forecast period. The few times we do see a bump, it's tiny, weak, and junky. The first couple of days, Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd of September, there's barely a ripple. We're talking about 0.7 ft and 0.3 ft of slop with a combined energy of just 3 to 1 (weak) – that's not surf, that's a lake. And that's the story for days and days. We're looking at a solid gap of around two weeks with *nothing* worth paddling out for on offer.
Even when we get to the last day we've got data for, Wednesday the 16th of September, the biggest we see is a tiny 1 ft from the WNW, and the energy is only at 4 (weak). For a place that usually has some life in it, this is a shocker. This blank run isn't typical for the area, but it's what we're dealt with. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 86°, but that's small comfort when there's nothing to ride.
Honestly, for this whole 16-day window, your best bet is to leave the surfboard in the car. With that kind of tiny, weak swell and onshore wind most days, the setup is more interesting for a kite than a paddle. But for the waves? There's just nothing to get excited about.
