The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get right to it. We’re looking at a pretty grim stretch ahead for the next two weeks, with only one brief window that could be worth watching toward the very end of the forecast. Right now, we’ve got nothing on the table. For days on end, the surf will be small, messy, or blown out. If you were hoping for a solid session, you’ll have to be patient.
The water at The Mayport Poles is sitting at a very warm 84°, which is about normal for this time of year. Not a surprise for September. No anomaly worth talking about.
Let’s run through it: Starting Tuesday the 8th of September, we’ve got an onshore ENE breeze at 12 mph with a weak 4 ft swell (142 energy). It’s poor. Wednesday the 9th through to Saturday the 19th is a long, flat stretch of tiny surf, mostly under 2 ft (energy barely cracking 70 at best) and constantly crossed-up by onshore or cross-onshore winds. Early on Friday the 11th morning there’s a rare moment of glass, but the swell is just 1 ft – not enough to even push a foam board. The whole first week and a half is basically a write-off.
There’s a flicker of life on the 20th of September – Sunday morning. Swell jumps to 7 ft from the ENE at a period of 9 seconds, with strong energy (645). That is about as good as it’s going to get in this entire outlook. The catch? It’s a direct onshore wind from the east at 9 mph, so expect bumpy, lumpy conditions, not clean lines. For a beginner break like The Mayport Poles, 7 ft is getting into the zone where it’s too big for inexperienced paddlers. So this morning looks like it’s only really for guys who can handle some chop and a little size. The setup at this beach is exposed east, so that ENE swell will hit straight in, but it’s also going to be onshore-windy. Not great, but it’s the only pulse with any heft.
Monday the 21st holds similar size (7–8 ft) but the energy is strong (515 to 674) and the wind stays onshore. Again, for the experienced crew only, and it’s not clean. After that, Tuesday the 22nd drops off and we’re back into smaller, onshore slop through to the end of the 23rd.
If you want the best session of the lot, set your alarm for Sunday morning the 20th. It’s the only time the swell has enough punch to get you a wave. Just be ready for chop and a crowd sometimes, because it’s the only game in town.
Rusty.
