The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get straight into it.
Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – we’ve got a flat spell on our hands. St Andrews State Park is looking at a long, slow run of tiny waves and barely anything to get excited about for the next couple of weeks. The swell energy is next to nothing, mostly sitting around 1 to 5, which is about as weak as it gets.
Water temp is sitting at a warm 87°F, which is running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it’ll feel nice just floating around.
The first couple of days, Friday the 21st through Sunday the 23rd of August, are showing nothing but small, weak slop – swell heights barely reaching 2 ft – with a mix of onshore and light winds. The rare moment of glassy conditions on Saturday morning and Sunday morning might give you a tiny clean-looking ripple, but there’s just no power behind it. It’s a beach and jetty setup here, so without some real swell, it’s just not worth paddling out for.
Through the following week, it doesn’t get much better. The best you’ll see is occasional glassy patches on the 26th and 28th of August, but again, swell heights are stuck around 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft, with short periods around 3-4 seconds – that’s just wind chop. Not real surf.
We hit a total flat spell toward the end of August into early September, with multiple days showing zero swell energy and glassy or clean conditions. That’s actually the most consistent thing in this forecast – clean water, no waves.
If you’re a beginner, there’s honestly nothing here to learn on. The best I can say is that the water’s warm and the beach is pretty. But for real surfing? There’s no standout session, no day to mark on your calendar. We might have to wait for the next system to push some energy our way.
