The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for Stuart Public Beach is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a flat, frustrating stretch. There’s no good surf on offer here, not a single session worth paddling out for. We’ve got a solid two and a half weeks of tiny, weak, and mostly blown-out conditions. If you’re hanging for a wave, you’re better off finding a different hobby for a while.
The water’s sitting at a warm 84°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least a swim would be comfortable.
Looking through the days, starting from Monday, August 3rd, it’s just tiny little 1ft slop out of the east with a short, weak period. The energy is laughable, barely registering (18 on Monday afternoon). Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up what little is there. This same poor pattern drags on. We get a slight bump mid-week, with Thursday August 6th seeing a bit more size at 3ft, but it’s from the ESE with a miserable 5-second period. The combined energy climbs to a weak 43, but the onshore winds just trash it. That trend of onshore wind and weak, short-period swell continues right through the weekend and into the following week.
There’s a tiny window on Tuesday morning, August 11th, with light cross-onshore winds on 2ft surf, and again on Wednesday morning, August 12th, when it goes glassy, but the swell is a pathetic 2ft with a 4-second period. You’d be bobbing around more than riding. The energy is down to 14. You could maybe get a knee-high closeout, but it’s not worth the effort.
The second week is just more of the same. Tiny waves, poor winds, and consistently poor surf conditions. Even when we get a slight pulse of 3ft from the NE on Tuesday, August 18th, the energy is still low (72) and the wind is onshore again. The optimum swell direction for the reef here is NE, which is a small positive, but the size and wind just aren’t there to make it work.
So there you have it. A total blank run. It’s one of those periods where the ocean just shuts down. Don’t waste your time staring at the horizon. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but for now, this is a washout.
Rusty.
