The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s be straight—this is a rough patch for St Andrews State Park. The whole 16-day run is basically flat, with barely a bump. We’re talking a long, quiet stretch with no real surf to get stoked about. The first tiny pulse shows up Sunday morning September 6th, but it’s hardly worth mentioning.
Sunday morning the 6th, the swell is a measly 1 ft from the west, period a short 3 seconds. Combined energy is just 1—that’s about as weak as it gets. Winds are cross-onshore from the west at 6 mph, so it’s choppy too. Not worth paddling out. Sunday afternoon is more of the same with onshore wind.
Monday the 7th sees a slight bump: 1 ft from the WSW, period still short at 4 seconds, energy up to 5. Morning wind is offshore from the north at 6 mph, so it’s clean. But the swell is tiny and weak. Afternoon turns risky with storms and onshore wind.
Tuesday the 8th drops back to 0.7 ft and then nothing. From Tuesday afternoon all the way through to the end of the forecast on September 21st, the energy reading is zero or near zero for most sessions. There are a few mornings with clean conditions and light offshore winds, like Wednesday the 16th with a NE breeze at 6 mph, and Sunday the 21st with NE at 12 mph offshore—but there’s no swell to ride. A few glassy moments too, like Monday afternoon the 14th with WSW wind at 3 mph and flat calm, and Sunday the 20th afternoon with zero wind and glassy conditions. But it’s all flat.
Honestly, this is one of those times where the ocean just shuts down. For an exposed beach/jetty setup like St Andrews, it’s not unusual to have blank runs. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there. But there’s no standout day, no session to mark on the calendar. If you’re really itching, maybe Monday morning the 7th with 1 ft and offshore wind is the least bad option—but that’s not saying much. For paddle surfing, it’s a no-go. The setup could look more interesting for kite surfing if any real wind picks up, but for us wave riders, it’s a long wait.
Stay patient, check back. Forecasts can change.
