The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Fort Lauderdale over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch is lookin’ pretty bleak for surf. We’ve got a solid 16-day window in front of us, and honestly, there’s nothing here that gets me fired up. The whole period is a run of tiny, weak slop and poor conditions. From the start on August 2nd right through to the final outlook on the 17th, every single entry is tagged "poor surf conditions." It’s a long, flat gap for any real wave riding.
The only break on the menu is Fort Lauderdale 14th Street, a beginner-friendly, sheltered spot that’s inconsistent at the best of times. The water temp is sittin’ where it should be for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
Let’s break down the few moments that come closest to having something you could call a wave. Around the morning of August 10th, we see a bit of a pulse: the swell bumps up to 4 ft from the SE with a weak period of 6 seconds. The combined wave energy creeps into moderate territory at 113, which is the highest in the whole forecast. But don’t get excited – that wind is coming out of the ESE at 9 mph, blowing directly onshore, which is gonna make it a bumpy, messy affair. Not a standout, just the least-bad of a bad bunch.
The morning of August 15th shows 3 ft from the ESE with 5-second period and energy at 39, but again, cross-onshore wind from the SSE at 9 mph keeps it choppy. For a sheltered, inconsistent beginner spot, this is a tough sell.
Honestly, with the swell staying under 3 ft for almost the whole run, and the wind constantly from the south-ish quarter making everything onshore or cross-onshore, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. If you’re determined to get wet, maybe wait for a last-minute forecast change – it tends not to stay this poor forever.
The long and short of it: no standouts, no good surf. Leave the boards at home for now.
