The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty again, but this time in feet and miles.
Look, we’ve got a lean 16-day window at The Mayport Poles, and there’s not much to get excited about. The waves stay small, the energy is low, and favorable wind is almost never a factor. No day stands out as anything more than a chance to get wet on a longboard.
The best you’ll see is the morning of Saturday the 5th. That morning sees an offshore cross-off breeze from the SSW at just 3 mph, combined with a weak 1 ft swell from the ESE. The combined energy is a measly (25). It’ll be clean with clear skies, but you’re looking at knee-high dribbles. It’s the pick, but only because everything else is worse.
The first week features weak, short-period swell around 2 ft to 3 ft, with periods of 7 to 9 seconds, and mostly cross-onshore or directly onshore winds. The combined energy tops out at 153, which is still feeble. Water temps are about normal for the season. After the 5th, it gets really tiny. From Sunday the 6th onward, waves mostly sit below 2 ft, with a brief bump to about 3 ft on the 13th but with onshore winds again.
The only glassy moment is the morning of Tuesday the 10th, but with the swell at just 1 ft, it’s basically flat. For experts, there’s absolutely nothing in the 2.5m (8 ft) range or above. The biggest wave is about 4 ft on Monday the 7th afternoon, but with a fresh cross-onshore wind at 19 mph, it’s choppy and ugly.
It’s a long, flat run from the 6th through the end of the forecast. Not really surfable. If you’re jonesing, wait for the next window.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at The Mayport Poles can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for The Mayport Poles may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
