The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you.
Look, I’ve scanned the charts for the next 16 days and I gotta be honest – it’s a flat spell for Fifth Street (Miami). There’s simply nothing worth paddling out for. The whole 16-day window is a write-off. We’re talking about a stretch that starts now and runs all the way through to Tuesday the 28th of July with zero decent surf. That’s a long, blank run.
The swell just isn’t showing up. Most days we’re looking at ankle-snappers of 0.3 ft to 1 ft, with the biggest we see barely touching 3 ft on the 28th. And even that tiny bump has a short period of only 4 or 5 seconds – no push, no power. The combined energy is pitiful, mostly single-digit values (the highest is just 44 on the 28th morning), which is weak, weak, weak. Any wave energy that does arrive is getting chopped up by cross-onshore winds, mostly from the SE and SSE, blowing at 9 to 16 mph. It’s messy, it’s choppy, and it’s not surfable.
The water temperature is sitting around 87°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s slightly interesting. The break is sheltered and inconsistent, needing a swell from the NNE to do anything, and that’s just not happening. Honestly, for a beach and reef setup like this, with the wind and the tiny, weak swell, it’s looking more like a kiteboarding breeze than a surfing day.
There’s no standout here. No hidden gem. Just a long, flat stretch. Forecasts can change, but right now, you’re better off doing something else for the next couple of weeks.
Rusty.
