The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you - this next 16-day stretch for our local waters is a bit of a challenge. We’re looking at a long, quiet period with hardly anything to get excited about. The first week and a half are going to be a tough slog, and honestly, the whole outlook is pretty flat. But don't lose all hope; there's a tiny glimmer of something towards the very end.
The first real chance to even consider a paddle is on Tuesday, July 29th, which is over two weeks away. Before that, from now (July 14th) right through to the morning of July 29th, it’s basically a write-off. We’re talking about 15 days of weak, wind-affected dribble. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly a cross-onshore mess, and every single session is rated as poor. It’s the kind of stretch that makes you want to check the forecast for the next season.
Now, let’s talk about the one spot we have to look at: Fifth Street (Miami). This is a sheltered beach and reef setup, and it’s inconsistent, so it’s a spot that needs everything to line up just right. The water temp is sitting at 87°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won't need a wetsuit.
The only period that even shows a pulse is around July 29th. On the Wednesday morning, we get a tiny bump up to 3ft of swell from the SSE, with a combined energy of 42 (moderate). The period is a short 5 seconds, so it’s not going to have much push. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore from the SE, so it’ll be a bit choppy. It’s still not good, with the wave comment calling it poor surf conditions. The Thursday afternoon (July 29th) is similar, with 3ft from the SSE and moderate cross-onshore wind. It’s not a standout, it’s just the least bad option in a very bleak window.
This is a tough one. For the next 15 days, I’d be looking at other hobbies. The forecast can change, but for now, it’s one of those blank runs that’s a bit more normal for the area when the trade winds set in. Keep the board waxed, and maybe we’ll get lucky with a last-minute shift.
Rusty.
