The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Got some bad news for the wave-starved among us. The next couple of weeks are lookin’ flat, real flat. We're in for a dry spell, so don't go getting your hopes up.
We're lookin' at St Andrews State Park. It's a beach and jetty set-up that's usually consistent, but it's gonna be a grind. For the next week, we're talkin' just about nothing. The swell energy is pathetic, mostly in the single digits – weak doesn't even cut it. We're seeing tiny little windswells, mostly under 2ft, with short, weak periods around 3 to 6 seconds. It's the kind of stuff that has you second-guessing your life choices.
The water's sittin' at about 87°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. You'll want the boardshorts, but that's about the only positive.
Wednesday and Thursday are total write-offs, there's just nothing there. We might see a little bump of 0.6ft to 1ft, but with cross and cross-on winds, it's gonna be a messy, gutless mess. Friday through Sunday stays the same – tiny, poor surf with occasional glassy mornings, like Sunday morning, but with no swell to make it count.
The following week, the 16th and 17th, has some clean, glassy periods with light offshores, but we're still lookin' at ankle-biters. It's just not gonna be worth the paddle out.
There is one small flicker of hope way down the line. Around the 22nd, the energy picks up a little. We're lookin' at a weak energy reading of 7, which is still poor, but it's the best we'll see. There's a 1ft SE swell with a 5-second period and a clean cross-offshore breeze from the E. It won't be big, but it might just be clean enough to get the log out and not hate life. The 24th sees the swell jump a bit to 3ft from the SE, but it's comin' with a fresh cross-onshore wind that will chop it up. For a beach and jetty break, that's more of a mess than a wave.
Honestly, with the swell that small and the wind that messy, this setup looks a whole lot more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the period. A blank run like this is normal for the area, but it tends not to stay this poor for long. Forecasts change, so we keep watching.
Rusty out.
