Alright folks, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – Miami’s Fifth Street is going through a flat spell that just won’t quit. For the next 16 days, there’s nothing to get excited about, so leave the boards in the car and maybe find something else to do.
Kicking off from July 3rd, it’s all tiny junk. We’re looking at swell heights barely tickling 1.3 ft with periods around 4 to 7 seconds – that’s pure wind chop, not real surf. The combined energy is weak, sitting between 22 and 15 on the first day, and then dropping to single digits for most of the run. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore from the SSE or SE, so it’s choppy and messy with no clean face to work with. Every single entry in the 16-day window is marked as poor surf conditions, and I can’t pick a single standout.
Even when a little more energy pops up around July 9th – we see a combined energy of 29 with a 2.3 ft swell – the period is a short 5 seconds and the wind is onshore from the ESE. That won’t peel, it’ll just crumble. Too soft for a proper ride.
The small window around July 14th morning has a brief moment of clean wind (cross-off from SW) but with a swell of just 0.3 ft and combined energy at 1, there’s literally no wave to ride.
Fifth Street (Miami) is a sheltered beach and reef setup that needs a proper swell direction to work – it favors NNE, and we’re not seeing that at all. The water’s a touch warmer than average at 86.7° early on, but that’s no consolation for the lack of surf.
This is a long, blank run. For this area, that’s not unusual, but it still stings. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing on offer. Keep the wax dry, folks.
