The Lowdown
Alright, let’s call it like it is.
We’re looking at a real dry spell here at St Andrews State Park (Florida). The whole 16-day window is a tough one, with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The first hint of anything is on Thursday, August 13th, but it’s not good.
Thursday, August 13th – A weak, short-period pulse comes in from the W-SW, but it’s a tiny 0.7m with a period of just 4 seconds and a combined energy of 17. The wind is cross-on from the W-SW at 15-20 km/h, making it choppy. Not a good look.
Friday, August 14th – Swell drops to 0.3-0.4m. Energy falls to 3. Still cross-on wind. Flat and messy.
Saturday, August 15th – A glassy morning with zero swell (energy 0). You’d be floating on a pond. The afternoon brings a tiny 0.3m onshore lump.
Sunday, August 16th through Wednesday, August 20th – The pattern continues. Swell sits between 0.1m and 0.4m, all with short periods, and the combined energy rarely climbs above 10. Winds are mostly cross-on or onshore.
Thursday, August 21st to Wednesday, August 27th – We get a few glassy mornings (25th, 26th, 27th), but there’s no swell to go with them – just 0.1m-0.2m and energy in the 1-2 range. Beautiful conditions for a nap on the beach, not for surfing.
Friday, August 28th – The final day shows zero swell and a light cross-shore wind. The forecast is a total washout.
There’s no standout session here, no “best day.” The entire run is flat. Water temp is about average for August. For a beach break, these long flat spells happen. It’s not the time for a surf trip; it’s time to check the forecasts again later. Things can always change, but for now, leave the board at home.

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. Our St Andrews State Park surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (St Andrews State Park) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
