The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the menu for the Miami stretch.
Honestly, I'm looking at the next couple of weeks and it's a tough one for us. The surf is going to be a real struggle. For the first eight days, from Sunday the 26th of July right through to Monday the 3rd of August, there's just nothing to get excited about. We're talking tiny, weak swells with barely any energy (4-6 energy range) and mostly cross-off or onshore winds. It's a long, flat run.
Even the best-looking day, Friday the 31st of July, has a morning with a gentle offshore breeze and a little 1.6 ft swell from the south that shows up in the afternoon, but the period is a super short 3 seconds. That's just wind slop, not a proper wave. It's a "poor surf conditions" call all the way.
The first spot that even gets a mention is Fifth Street (Miami). It's a sheltered beach-and-reef setup, often crowded, and it's inconsistent. For the first week, the water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
If you're looking for a glimmer, Sunday the 9th of August morning has a light cross-off breeze and a little 1.3 ft wave, but the energy is still weak (11). The whole stretch is a write-off for paddle surfing. With such small, weak swells and choppy onshore winds, this setup honestly looks more interesting for a kite surfer than anyone on a shortboard. The next ten days are a waiting game.
