The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you — the next sixteen days are lookin' pretty grim for a proper surf at Fifth Street in Miami. We've got a long, flat stretch ahead.
The forecast kicks off Monday the 27th of July, and right through until about Monday the 10th of August, the wave comment is "poor surf conditions" every single session. The swell height barely nudges above 2 ft for the whole run, with the combined swell energy mostly sitting in the weak range, often just single or low double digits. There's simply no punch in the water.
The best the wind does is an offshore breeze on Friday morning the 31st of July, but with a swell height of only 0.3 ft and a period of 5 seconds, you're looking at absolutely nothing to ride. Even the bigger days towards the end of the run, like Friday the 7th of August morning with 2 ft from the ESE and a combined energy of just 15, are still too weak and plagued by cross-onshore winds that'll mess up any tiny ripple that might show.
Fifth Street is a sheltered spot that needs a solid push from the north-northeast to work, and we just aren't getting it. Combine a tiny, weak swell with cross-off, cross, or cross-onshore winds for the bulk of the time, and you've got a recipe for staying home. This blank run is pretty normal for the area when the conditions don't line up.
So, there's no standout here, no day to circle on the calendar. Keep the board in the car for the next trip, but don't hold your breath for the foreseeable. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a solid miss.
Rusty.
