Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days are a quiet stretch for St Andrews State Park. We’re looking at a long, drawn-out run of tiny, weak waves and less-than-ideal wind. Don’t expect any magic, but I’ll walk you through what little there is.
The whole outlook is a gap of flat, poor conditions. There’s nothing worth paddling out for across the entire 16-day window. The water temp is sitting at 87° – a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is fine, but it won’t fix the lack of swell.
The first and only break on the radar is St Andrews State Park (beach/jetty). It’s a consistent spot, but nothing here is going to get you excited. The entire forecast is a run of weak, short-period windswell from the south and southwest, with heights rarely cracking 2 ft to 2 ft. The combined energy stays low, often in the single digits or teens (11 to 32), so there’s just no power in the water.
The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, coming from the SW or WSW, which will keep the surface messy. The only slight break in the pattern is around Tuesday, July 14th, when we get a light WNW breeze in the morning, but the swell is still a pathetic 4 ft from the west with a period of just 5 seconds and weak energy (88). That’s not enough to call it a session.
Later on, Thursday, July 23rd, there’s a tiny pulse of 3 ft WSW swell, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy (energy 51). It’s the top end of the entire run, and that says everything. The spot is exposed to SW swell, which is the direction we’re seeing, but the quality is just poor.
For a beginner, the swell never gets over 5 ft, so it’s paddlable in theory, but the onshore wind and lack of shape will make it frustrating. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. The wind is steady and the waves are junk.
Bottom line: don’t bother checking the surf for at least 16 days. It won’t stay poor forever, but this run is a bust.
