The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the Panama City Beach scene. For St Andrews State Park (Panama City Beach), a beginner-friendly beach and jetty break, this forecast is a tough pill to swallow.
We’re looking at a massive 15-day dry spell starting now. The water temp is about normal for this time of year, but the surf is practically nonexistent. Saturday the 5th through nearly the end of the run is flat, choppy, or blown out with tiny ripples. Not a single wave worth a mention.
The only real-looking pulse comes on Sunday, the 20th of September. A south swell of 5 ft shows up with a 9-second period and moderate wave energy (407). It’s only rated as marginal, but the wind is clean from the ENE at 12 mph, blowing offshore. That means the faces will be smooth. The south swell isn’t the best direction for this spot (it prefers SW), but it’s close enough to wrap in and produce some rideable waves. With the swell over 5 ft, this one’s for the experienced crew—beginners will want to sit this one out.
Everything else? Tiny junk from short-period windswells with messy onshores or flat calm. The jetty might offer a little shape on the better days, but frankly, there’s nothing to get excited about until that Sunday the 20th.
It’s a quiet run, but things can flip quick around here. Stay tuned.
Rusty.
