The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for the Fort Lauderdale area. We’re looking at a long, quiet run with no real surf to get excited about.
The first recommendation comes in on Tuesday, July 14th, but it’s a real washout. We’re talking about Fort Lauderdale 14th Street (Florida). The water temp is sitting at 87°—about 2° warmer than average for this time of year, so it’s a tad on the toasty side, but that’s about the only thing going for it. The swell is a tiny 0.7 ft out of the east, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 11, and with a 12 mph onshore ESE breeze, it’s just poor surf conditions. Skip it.
We roll through the next few days with nothing changing. Wednesday the 15th stays poor with a 1 ft NE swell and onshore winds. Thursday the 16th morning offers a brief moment of glassy conditions with zero wind, but the swell is still a pathetic 1 ft with a short period. Still poor surf. Friday the 17th through the weekend sees the swell bounce between 0.3 ft and 2 ft, but the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, chopping everything up. The combined energy never breaks past 23, and the scores are all zero. It’s just flat and messy.
The whole second week looks the same. From Monday, July 20th, right through to Wednesday, July 29th, there’s no standout. The swell maxes out at around 3 ft on the 29th, with a combined energy of 60, but it’s a short-period SSE swell with a persistent onshore wind. The conditions are still rated as poor. There’s nothing here to recommend.
Look, when the forecasts are this empty, it’s a tough pill to swallow. But the setup is a sheltered beach break, so when it’s this weak and windy, honestly, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Keep the board in the car, but don’t expect to get wet. We’ll see if the forecasts change.
Rusty.
