Alright folks, Rusty here with the straight talk on the local surf. For the next 16 days, it’s a total bust. From now until the end of July, there’s absolutely nothing on offer for a surf at Fort Lauderdale 14th Street. Every single window is showing "poor surf conditions."
The swell is tiny, from 0.6 ft to 3 ft at best, and the wind is a constant problem, mostly blowing onshore or cross-onshore from the south and southeast at 6 to 12 mph, making it choppy. The water temp is a warm 86°F, which is pretty average for this time of year.
The break itself is a sheltered beginner spot and it’s classed as "inconsistent," which explains this long flat spell. The wave energy is dead, with combined energy numbers all in the single digits or low teens (8 to 45), meaning there’s just no power in the water at all.
It's a grim outlook, but for this area, a blank run like this is more normal than not. This is more of a kiteboarding wind check than a surf forecast. Keep your board in the car, because the forecasts can always change, but for now, the ocean is flat out saying no.
