The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for the next 16 days is a real bummer. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, blown-out, or just plain crummy conditions, and there’s nothing on the books that’s worth paddling out for. The whole period is one big gap with no real surf on offer.
Things start off with a bit of a tease on Thursday, July 23rd, but don’t get excited. We’re looking at a tiny 2ft to 2ft easterly windswell with a gutless 4-second period. The combined energy is just 10 to 17 (weak), and with a moderate breeze blowing onshore, it’s a choppy, messy mess. Add in the risk of thunderstorms, and you’re better off staying dry.
This sad pattern just keeps going. Friday, July 24th, through the weekend, we’re stuck with ankle-biters from the southeast, barely reaching 2ft. The wind stays cross-onshore, keeping the surface bumpy. The water temperature is sitting around 86°, which is about average for the time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s normal.
The only time the surface cleans up is from Sunday, July 26th, through the middle of the following week. We get some light offshore and cross-offshore breezes, especially on the 27th, 28th, and 29th. But the swell is non-existent – we’re talking 0.3ft to 0.7ft of virtually nothing. The combined energy drops to single digits (2 to 8), meaning zero push. It’s clean as a whistle, but dead flat.
As we roll into the first week of August, we get a slight bump in size on the 2nd, with 2ft to 2ft from the south and southeast. But the period is still a pathetic 4 to 5 seconds, the energy is only 18 to 25 (weak), and the wind swings back onshore. It’s just more choppy, crumbly junk.
The final few days, from the 5th to the 7th, don’t offer any hope. The swell stays tiny, the wind is either onshore or howling at 25 mph, and the whole setup is just a write-off. Honestly, for a sheltered spot like Dunes Hotel (Miami) that’s inconsistent at the best of times, this blank run is pretty normal for the area. The forecasts can always change, but right now, there’s nothing to chase.
Rusty.
