The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta tell ya, the picture for Fifth Street (Miami) over the next 16 days is pretty grim. This spot is already inconsistent and sheltered, and right now we’re looking at a long, flat spell. The first real chance to surf doesn’t come until a ways into the forecast.
From now through the end of July, the swell is tiny – mostly 0.3ft to 2ft – with real short, weak periods (3 to 5 seconds) and combined energy values that barely hit double digits, often just 4 to 18. That’s weak. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-on, churning things up. The water is about 87°F, a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but that don’t matter when there’s no waves.
Then we hit a long gap from late July into early August. Swell stays below 0.7ft, energy readings are in the single digits, and even the clean moments – like the morning of Sunday, July 26, with a light offshore and glassy conditions – have zero wave height. It’s a week or more of flatness.
Finally, there’s a faint pulse around the morning of Sunday, August 2. A small SSE swell around 2ft, period 4 seconds, with a combined energy of 16. Wind is light and offshore, so it’ll be clean, but the wave is still tiny. Same kind of weak, clean conditions on Monday, August 3 morning – 2ft from the SE, period 4 seconds, energy 12. That’s the best on offer. But it’s not a standout. It’s a small, weak wave for a longboard or a beginner just wanting to get wet.
For the rest of the second week, it’s back to very small, poor surf with cross-on winds and lumpy conditions. There’s a glassy moment on the morning of Wednesday, August 5, but with only 0.3ft of swell, it’s flat.
So, the honest truth: there’s no real standout session here. The best window is the morning of Sunday, August 2, and Monday, August 3, but even that is just small, clean, weak surf. If you’re desperate, you can go for a paddle, but don’t expect much. For a break that’s already inconsistent, this kind of dry run is normal. It won’t stay poor forever, but for now, the forecast isn’t giving us anything to get excited about.
Rusty.
