The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. We're looking at a real long, flat spell to kick things off. From now, right through until the morning of Saturday the 25th of July, there's nothing worth getting wet for. That's four or five days of weak, short-period windswell and choppy onshore junk. The combined energy stays low, barely cracking triple digits (136 at its best on the Tuesday afternoon, but that's a messy cross-onshore 5ft) so don't even bother.
The first real chink of light comes on Saturday morning, the 25th of July at The Mayport Poles. We've got a tiny 3ft of swell sliding in from the ESE, but the kicker is a clean cross-offshore breeze. It's surfable, but very ordinary. The combined energy is only 69, so it's weak. Still, if you're a beginner and desperate, you could get a few soft little rollers. Don't expect much.
There's a similar pattern for the next week or so. We get these little windows of clean wind – mostly offshore or cross-off – but the swell just doesn't have any size or power. Sunday morning the 26th has a 2ft ESE swell with a moderate offshore wind, which will be clean, but again, it's tiny. The combined energy sits at a paltry 50. Same story for the 27th, 28th, 29th, and 30th – clean conditions, but with waves barely pushing 1ft to 3ft. The energy figures are all in the teens and twenties. It's a real grind.
The only other day that might give you a little hope is the morning of Friday the 31st of July. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the SE with a gentle offshore breeze, and the combined energy hits 84. "Surfable but very ordinary" is the best we get. And then Saturday the 1st of August starts with a glassy 2ft, but the afternoon turns into an onshore mess.
So, the standout? There isn't one. The best on offer is a tie between the clean mornings on the 25th, 26th, and 31st of July, but they're all tiny. If you're a beginner, the Saturday the 25th morning with that glassy 3ft might be your best bet for some practice. For anyone else, it's a long wait for anything with a pulse. This area tends to go through flat spells, and this is one of them. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, don't hold your breath.
Rusty.

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.
