The Lowdown
Alright folks, let's see what we got. I gotta be straight with you – it's a long, dry spell on the horizon for this area.
There's really nothing doing for the whole 16-day stretch. Fifth Street in Miami is all we’ve got to look at, but it’s an inconsistent, sheltered beach and reef break, and the forecast is a total bummer.
We're stuck in a rut of poor surf from Wednesday, July 29th, all the way through to at least Thursday, August 13th. That’s more than two weeks with nothing worth chasing. For the first week and a half, the swell is tiny – 0.3ft to 1ft – with a short, weak period of 4 to 5 seconds. The combined energy is real low, never getting past 27, which is barely a ripple. The wind is mostly cross or blowing onshore, keeping the surface messy and choppy.
Heading into the second week, around August 8th, we see the period bump up to 10 or 11 seconds, but the wave height is still only 1ft to 2ft. The energy climbs a little, hitting 84 on the morning of the 8th and 83 on the morning of the 11th, but that’s still weak surf. The wind stays cross-onshore, so it’s still choppy. There’s a couple of mornings on the 12th and 13th where the wind goes light cross-offshore, which would clean it up, but with such a tiny swell, it’s still not worth the effort.
The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at around 87°, but that’s about it. This is a total washout. For a spot that’s inconsistent anyway, a dry spell like this isn't unusual for the area. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board at home.
