Table - best surf conditions forecast for Fifth Street (Miami) over the next 16 days.
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the 16-day window for Fifth Street (Miami) is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, choppy, and generally unrideable conditions. There’s a real gap here, with no proper surf on the cards for the first several days and well into the second week.
The water’s running a touch warmer than normal at 87°, which is nice for a paddle, but you won’t be doing much surfing.
The first real sign of anything happening is a very brief window on the morning of Friday the 11th of July. Conditions will be glassy with a light offshore breeze, and the swell is a tiny 0.7 ft from the NNE. The combined energy is only a weak 13, so it’s hardly a wave. You might get a knee-high ripple, but it’s more of a hopeful paddle than a surf.
The only other moment that catches the eye is the morning of Sunday the 26th of July. We’ve got glassy conditions again, a 1.0 ft swell from the east with a period of 7 seconds, and a combined energy of 13. It’s still small, but the clean conditions are a major positive. For a sheltered spot, that east direction isn't its optimum, but the glass makes it the best on offer in this whole period.
Honestly, that’s all there is. Every other day is a mix of onshore wind, cross-onshore chop, and flat spells. The swell never gets above 2 ft, and the energy levels are all in the weak double digits. For an inconsistent spot like this, a blank run like this is more normal than not. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most days.
Stay patient, and check back. Forecasts can change.
