The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We're looking at the next 16 days for Fifth Street (Miami), and to be honest, it's a flat spell. There's not a single proper surf window in sight. The forecast is a long stretch of tiny, weak waves that just aren't going to deliver.
The water is sitting at about 87°, which is a degree warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least a dip will be pleasant, but don't expect to get a ride.
We're looking at a long, blank run from now all the way through the end of the month. The bulk of the days show swell heights barely cracking 2 ft, with most of it coming in at 0.3 ft to 1 ft. The periods are short, mostly between 4 and 9 seconds, and there's just no power behind anything.
The winds are a mix of gentle breezes and moderate breezes, but they're almost always coming from the southeast, which puts a cross-onshore chop on the water. Even on the rare glassy morning – like Thursday the 16th morning – the swell is only 0.7 ft. That's a lake, not a surf.
For a spot that's already inconsistent and sheltered, this is a normal part of the deal. It just tends to go quiet. Forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to get excited about. If you're desperate for water time, the setup is more interesting for a kite than a paddle.
Stay tuned, but don't hold your breath.
