The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the 16-day window for Miami is a total flat spell. There’s not a single recommendation worth paddling out for, so we’re looking at a long, quiet stretch starting now and running all the way through. The data shows the whole period is filled with tiny, weak swells and mostly poor conditions, so don’t bother waxing up just yet.
The only spot on the radar is Fifth Street (Miami). This is a sheltered beach and reef setup that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and right now it’s barely a whisper. The combined swell energy is weak, sitting at just 5 to 33 units across the whole forecast. For Tuesday the 28th through Thursday the 30th, you’re looking at a tiny 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft of swell from the NE, with a short period of 8 to 9 seconds. Winds are cross-offshore, but with such small surf, it’s just clean and flat. Wednesday the 29th morning has a bit more energy at 6 units, but it’s still a waste of time.
Friday the 31st offers a slight bump – a 2 ft swell from the S, but it’s a 3-second windswell, so it’s junky. The combined energy climbs to 15 units, but it’s a messy cross-shore chop. Saturday the 1st of August is similar, with a 2 ft S swell but a fresh cross-breeze making it lumpy. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
From the 2nd of August onwards, the trend continues: tiny 0.3 ft to 2 ft swells, mostly from the E or SE, with short periods of 4 to 8 seconds. The combined energy maxes out at 33 units on the 11th, but that’s still weak. Winds turn onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and mushy. For a sheltered spot that rarely breaks, this is a total bust. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the poor quality and small surf.
So, in short: there’s nothing to surf here for the next 16 days. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual. Forecasts can change, but right now, save your energy.
Rusty.
