The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The Mayport Poles is the only spot on the table for the next 16 days, and honestly, it’s a tough stretch. The first real chance to paddle out with anything close to decent comes on Sunday, July 26th, and even then, it’s barely worth getting wet. That’s a solid 13-day gap from the start of the forecast with nothing but poor conditions and tiny swell.
For the first week, from Monday, July 13th through to the end of the second week, it’s mostly ankle-biters and junk. The wind is offshore a lot of the time, which is a blessing, but the swell is pathetic—1 ft to 2 ft from the ESE, with periods hanging around 8 seconds. That’s short-period, weak energy. The combined energy readings are all in the teens to low 30s (like 17 to 39), which is just feeble. The water temp is sitting at 85°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that won’t help the waves.
The only day that stands out as anything close to surfable is Sunday, July 26th. The morning session at The Mayport Poles has a clean, light offshore breeze from the SW, with the swell ticking up to 2 ft from the ESE at 8 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 67, which is still weak but at least shows a pulse. The water temp anomaly is now within the average range. It’s a beginner-level wave, so if you’re just learning or want to get the wetsuit off and mess around on a foamie, it’s your best bet. The break is fairly consistent, but crowds are possible here, so don’t expect it to yourself.
The afternoon of the 26th turns messy—cross-shore wind from the S at 12 mph, chop building, and the energy drops. After that, the final days of the forecast loop back to tiny, junky conditions with onshore wind.
Honestly, for the whole 16 days, if you’re looking for a proper wave, it’s not happening. The Mayport Poles is a beginner spot, and the swell just isn’t there. The consistent offshore wind keeps the water clean for a paddle, but the waves are flat. If you’re into kite surfing, the afternoon of Wednesday, July 21st sees a 5 ft SE swell with onshore wind—that might be more interesting for you than paddle surfing.
For a solid wave, you’d be better off waiting for the next forecast window. This run is a blank.
Keep an eye on it, though—forecasts can change. This is Rusty, signing off.
