The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for the next 16 days around here is about as flat as a day-old beer. We're looking at a long, dry stretch with no real surf to get excited about.
From Tuesday the 25th of August all the way through to Wednesday the 9th of September, the only break on the cards is Fifth Street (Miami). And honestly, it's a tough watch. The swell is tiny, barely a ripple, with wave heights bouncing between a pathetic 0.3 ft and 2 ft. The combined swell energy is laughably weak, never cracking triple digits (stuck between 5 and 26), which tells you all you need to know. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. Every single session in the forecast is stamped with "poor surf conditions." There's just nothing here for a paddle surfer.
Because it's a beach and reef set-up that's sheltered, this isn't even looking good for the kite crew, just a whole lot of nothing. The water temperature is a balmy 87° on the 25th, which is about a degree and a half warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least a swim would be comfortable. But for waves? Forget it. There's a gap in decent surf that runs the entire 16-day period.
This kind of blank run is pretty standard for the area when the conditions line up wrong. It won't stay poor forever, and forecasts can change, but for right now, leave the board in the shed.
