The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you: the outlook for Miami's Fifth Street (Miami) over the next sixteen days is a tough one to swallow. We're looking at a real desert of good surf ahead. The forecast shows a blank run starting from July 22nd and stretching all the way through to August 6th, with no worthwhile waves to speak of. The finder has pulled up zero recommendations for the entire period, which is just a grim reality for this stretch of beach and reef in the summer.
The water temperature is hovering around average for the time of year, so you won't need a thick wetsuit for the flat spells, but that's the only good news.
Starting Wednesday morning, July 22nd, through to early August, it's a constant story of weak, short-period windswell. The swell heights are tiny, barely scraping 2 ft to 2 ft at best, with periods of only 4 to 5 seconds. That's pure, crumbly junk. The combined energy readings are well under 100 — just 13 to 23 — meaning there's no grunt whatsoever. The wind is mostly a cross-onshore breeze from the SSE or SE, which just adds chop to the misery. It's poor surf, full stop.
There's a brief moment on Sunday morning, July 26th, where the wind goes light and cross-offshore from the SW, and the swell period stretches to 8 seconds. But the swell height is a pathetic 0.7 ft, and the combined energy is a measly 8. It's clean, but there's nothing to ride.
The pattern repeats into early August. By August 2nd, a Sunday, we get a glassy morning with SSW winds at 3 mph, but the swell is still just 0.3 ft with an 8-second period and a combined energy of 2. It's a lake, not a surf zone. The rest of the week remains flat with onshore winds.
Look, the setup here is a beach and reef that's sheltered from the kind of swell directions that would actually work. The optimum swell is from the NNE, but we're getting nothing but weak, short-period energy from the SSE and E. This blank run is more normal for this time of year, but forecasts can always change. For now, save the gas money. The surf is just not there.
Rusty.
