The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be real with each other. I’ve stared at the charts, and I’ve got some tough news and maybe a glimmer of hope, but it’s not going to be pretty. We’re looking at a long, flat stretch ahead, and honestly, it’s a bit heartbreaking.
Right now, through the end of this week and into the next, there’s basically nothing doing. We've got a whole lot of nothin' on the horizon. The wave energy is dead, and we’re looking at a stretch of days with just ankle-slashers and chop, if that. It’s going to be a tough paddle for absolutely nothing. This is a serious dry spell.
There is a slight pulse of energy trying to show up later on the 21st, but it’s weak, disorganized, and the wind will be blowing all over it. The swell direction is just not working for us, and the periods are short. It will be a mess.
Then, we finally get a little bit of life in the water on the 22nd. It’s not going to be epic, but at least you won't be floating on a lake. We’ll see the swell bump up to about 4ft, but that 6-second period is going to make it soft and crumbly. The winds will be onshore from the southwest, so it will be a bit lumpy and hard to find a clean face. It’s surfable if you’re desperate, but you’ll be working for every crumb.
Overall, the best bet in this whole window is going to be the morning of the 22nd. The swell’s the biggest it’ll be, and the energy from all swells directed here is moderate at 82. It’s still not great, but it’s the best you’re going to get. Just be ready for a crowded, mushy lineup.
The sad truth is, with that forecast, the St Andrews State Park (Florida) setup looks way more interesting for the kite surfers than it does for paddle surfers for most of this period, especially with all that onshore wind. For us, it’s going to be a lot of waiting, watching, and hoping the models change.
Keep the faith, but don't hold your breath.

Information about the St Andrews State Park Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for St Andrews State Park provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at St Andrews State Park can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for St Andrews State Park may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
