Alright, let’s get real about the next couple of weeks here in Miami. I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the water long enough to know when to get excited and when to stay on the beach with a coffee.
Straight up: the next 16 days are looking pretty flat and messy for Fifth Street (Miami). We’ve got a long stretch of weak, short-period windswell that’s mostly coming from the east and southeast, and the wind is almost always cross-onshore, which keeps things choppy and uninviting. The water temp is sitting at about 87°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bathtub out there.
The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t show up until the morning of Saturday, 19 July. Even then, we’re only looking at 2 ft from the southeast with a period of 4 seconds – that’s junky, weak energy. The combined energy of all swells is only 11, which is basically nothing. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it won’t be totally blown out, but it’s still not worth paddling out for.
The best of a bad bunch might be the morning of Thursday, 23 July. We’ve got 3 ft from the ESE, still with a short period of 4 seconds, but the combined energy finally bumps up to 32. Wind is a gentle cross-onshore, so it’s not clean, but if you’re desperate for a knee-high dribbler, that’s your window. It’s not a standout, just the least bad option.
Honestly, if you’re looking for something that’s over 5 ft and clean, you won’t find it here. The setup is a beach and reef, but with these tiny, weak swells and constant sideshore wind, it’s more of a kite surfing kind of week than a paddle surfing one. Don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
