The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s cooking. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: this stretch is flat-out quiet. Over the next 16 days from now, there’s a long gap of nothing worth chasing. The first bit of surf that’s even worth a mention shows up on Saturday morning the 8th at The Mayport Poles. Even then, it’s only 4 ft from the ESE with a short 8-second period. The combined energy is 140 (moderate), which is weak. The wind is cross-onshore from the SE at 6 mph, so it’ll have some texture on it. For a beginner-friendly spot that’s exposed to the east, you might get a few knee-high sliders, but don’t get excited. Water temp is 84°, right about normal for the time of year.
The first week from Tuesday the 4th through Friday the 7th is a total washout. Every session is marked as poor surf conditions. Swells are tiny, from 1 ft to 4 ft, with periods as short as 5 seconds, and winds are cross-on or onshore. All energy readings are below 100 (weak). Thursday the 6th is especially sad – 1 ft and onshore wind.
Saturday the 8th is the only bright spot, and it’s dim. The morning has 4 ft at 8 seconds from the ESE with a light breeze, but it’s cross-onshore. The afternoon bumps up to 4 ft, but the wind picks up to a moderate cross-onshore at 12 mph, making it choppy. The combined energy hits 174 (moderate) – the best we’ll see, but that’s not saying much. This is a beach break, and with those conditions, it might be more fun for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. The break faces east, and the swell is coming from the ESE, so it’s aligned okay, but the quality is poor. Crowds? Sometimes, but I doubt many will bother.
After the 8th, it’s back to the same. Sunday the 9th through Thursday the 14th: tiny swells, 1 ft to 3 ft, choppy afternoons, no energy. Mornings on the 12th (WSW offshore at 6 mph) and 13th (SSW cross-off at 6 mph) look clean, but the swell is only 1 ft to 2 ft – flat and glassy, no push. The 15th and 16th mornings have clean conditions again with cross-off winds and 2 ft to 3 ft from the SSE or SE, but periods are short (5 to 8 seconds), and energy is weak (53 and 58). The 18th morning is glassy but only 2 ft. The 19th morning is clean with a cross-off wind, but again 2 ft.
So, the one standout in this whole 16-day window is the morning of Saturday the 8th at The Mayport Poles. It’s not good, it’s just the least ugly. A 4 ft ESE swell, light cross-onshore wind, moderate energy. That’s your best shot, and it’s a slim one. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this kind of quiet run happens around here when the patterns don’t cooperate. I wouldn’t be rushing.
Rusty.
