The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s coming for Fort Lauderdale 14th Street over the next 16 days. I gotta be straight with you – there’s not a single decent session on the cards. The whole window is a flat, wind-affected mess. This spot is already a beginner-friendly, sheltered little nook that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and right now it’s just not doing anything. From Monday 27 July all the way through to Tuesday 11 August, every single entry is tagged “poor surf conditions” with a score of zero.
The swell never gets above 3 ft, and even that tiny bump (on the afternoon of 3 August) is a short-period 4-second windswell from the SSE – combined energy only 34 (weak), and the wind is straight onshore. Most days the height is 0.7 ft or less, with periods around 7–8 seconds, and the combined energy rarely cracks double digits. The winds are a mix of cross-off, cross, and cross-on, with occasional offshore on the 30th morning and 8th morning, but even then the swell is too small to bother. On the 1st August afternoon the wind jumps to 19 mph cross-on, making it lumpy, and on the 8th afternoon it’s 19 mph cross with lumpy cross-chop – that’s more kite-surfing territory than anything worth paddling for.
The only positive note is that the water temperature anomaly isn’t flagged, so it’s about average for the time of year, but that doesn’t help when there’s no wave energy. A blank run like this is actually pretty normal for an inconsistent, sheltered break like 14th Street – it takes a perfect alignment of swell and wind to get it going, and that’s just not happening. Keep your board waxed, check back later, but for now, don’t waste the gas.
Rusty.
