Alright, this is Rusty checking in from Miami. Let's be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking flat and choppy for Fifth Street. This is a sheltered spot, and it's showing. We've got a long stretch of nothing worthwhile ahead.
The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 87°F, which feels nice, but it won't save the surf.
The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off. From now through to Sunday, July 20th, the swell energy is weak, never hitting above a combined energy of 35. The waves are tiny, mostly under 3 ft, with short, weak periods that just won't produce any push. On top of that, the wind is almost always cross or cross-onshore, keeping the surface a messy, choppy mess. A few times it goes fully onshore, which is even worse.
Tuesday, July 15th morning has the biggest bump – a 3 ft southeast swell with a combined energy of 35. But the wind is still cross-onshore, so it'll be a bumpy, poor-quality wave. Not worth paddling out. This is a beach and reef setup, and with this combo of small, weak swell and choppy wind, it honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for the whole period.
In short, there's just no surf to get excited about. The poor conditions are locked in. Hang up the board for a bit, or go for a paddle in the flat water. This is one of those blank runs that's normal for the area in summer.
