Alright, Rusty here, and you know what? The outlook for the next couple of weeks over at Fifth Street (Miami) is about as flat as a week-old beer. To be real with you, the entire 16-day forecast window is a write-off for any kind of decent surf. There are zero recommendations. Zero. We’re talking a whole stretch from now right through to July 19th with nothing but poor surf conditions.
The swell just isn't showing up. For the next several days, we're looking at tiny little knee-slappers—0.3ft to 1.0ft—with hardly any energy behind 'em. The combined energy values are mostly in the single digits, the weakest stuff you can imagine. And the wind? Almost always coming out of the south or southeast, which is either cross or cross-onshore at this break, messing up what little bump there is. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year.
There is one little blip on the radar for the morning of Thursday, July 9, where we see a combined energy of 46, which is moderate but still pitifully small. That’s coming from swell out of the southeast with a short period of 5 seconds, so it’s just wind-slop, and it's being blown out by a moderate cross-onshore breeze anyway.
Even on the rare calm morning, like Sunday, July 12, where the wind goes glassy—that could've been magic—the swell is a pathetic 1.3ft from the southeast. There's just nothing to work with.
Look, for a sheltered spot like Fifth Street that needs a specific window of swell and wind, a long dry spell like this isn't surprising. It happens. The forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards at home. If you're desperate for some wind in your face, the moderate onshores we are seeing are better suited for a kite session than a paddle-out.
Hang in there.
