Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about the local surf scene for the next couple of weeks. I've had a good look at the charts for Fifth Street (Miami), and honestly, it's a tough stretch.

Right now, and for the entire 16-day period, we're looking at a whole lot of nothing. There are no proper surfable waves on the horizon here. The first few days are a write-off with tiny, weak 0.3m to 0.4m slop from the SSE having basically no energy to speak of. The combined swell energy barely hits double digits, mostly hanging around 4 to 5, which is just a whisper. The wind is constantly cross or cross-onshore, putting a chop on whatever ripple there is. It's poor surf conditions across the board.

We slide into a long, dry spell where nothing changes. Throughout the middle of July, the swell stays pathetic, never getting above 1.1m on the Friday the 10th, but even then, that weak 1.1m only has a combined energy of 98 and comes with a strong 25 km/h cross-onshore wind. It’s just messy. There is one moment on the morning of Monday the 13th where the wind goes glassy, but there’s no swell at all – a flat, glassy ocean. That's the full story for this spot: a whole lot of flat with a side of chop right through to the end of July.

Truth is, there are no standout days. Not one. If you're desperate for a dip, any of the days with 0.3m or so might get your feet wet, but don't expect a wave to ride. This is one of those blank runs where the forecasts will need to change seriously for us to see any action. For now, the setup is better for a kite than a surfboard, honestly.

Rusty.
