The Mayport Poles Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about what we're looking at for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it's a quiet stretch. The Mayport Poles are not offering up much to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty flat and mostly messy. There's no real stand-out swell on the horizon, so we're stuck with small, weak energy for the duration.

Water temps are running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, around 86°, so at least it'll be pleasant just floating around out there.

We start with Tuesday, July 7th. It's a no-go. Tiny 3-foot swell from the southeast with a super short 4-second period, and the wind is a cross-onshore breeze. The combined energy is a weak 27, which is basically nothing. It's just choppy and poor.

Wednesday the 8th through to Tuesday the 14th is more of the same. You'll see some clean windows in the early mornings with light west-southwest winds, especially on the 10th, 11th, and 12th, but the swell is tiny – usually between 1 and 2 feet. The energy sits in the 30s and low 40s. Even the cleaner moments are just for logging, not really surfing. The afternoons get blown out by a cross-onshore sea breeze.

We get a tiny spike in the middle of the month. On the morning of Wednesday the 15th, the combined energy bumps up to 133 with a clean light cross-shore wind. The swell picks up a bit to 3 feet, but it's coming from the east-northeast. That's a better direction for the Poles, offering some shape, but the size is still minimal. The period is a weak 7 seconds, so it's not going to have any punch. The afternoon gets choppy again. Thursday the 16th starts clean with a light north-northwest cross-offshore wind but the swell drops away again.

From Friday the 17th onwards, it's even smaller. Mornings are clean, especially the 18th with a light offshore from the west, but wave heights are down at 1 foot. The energy is in the teens to forties. It's a total flat spell.

There are some afternoon clean-ups late in the period, like Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th, but the swell is pathetic. There's nothing to ride.

Bottom line: for the next 16 days, there are zero good options. The forecast shows nothing but small, weak, and mostly onshore slop. For beginners, it might be a place to practice paddling on a tiny foam ball, but there's no real surf to be had. The whole stretch is a blank run for any decent wave. It’s a quiet time of year for this spot, and this forecast shows exactly that. Keep your board in the car just in case, but don't get your hopes up.

Stay tuned,
Rusty
