The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles per hour. Rusty here, tellin’ it how it is. Fort Lauderdale 14th Street is lookin’ pretty darn quiet for the first week and a half. From Thursday the 10th right through to Monday the 21st, it’s mostly tiny, waist-high slop, onshore winds, and stormy afternoons. The combined swell energy is mostly in the low double digits—weak stuff. The water’s about 87°F, a touch warmer than usual, so at least you’re comfortable while you’re waitin’ for nothin’.
After that long dry spell, Tuesday the 22nd shows a little life. A northerly swell rolls in at about 4ft, with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind goes clean offshore from the WNW at 15 mph. That’s a nice change. Combined energy hits 160 (moderate). The break is for beginners, and 4ft is fine for that. It’s inconsistent though, so you’ll be bobbing. Crowds are “sometimes,” so you might have a few others around.
The real standout is the morning of Wednesday the 23rd. Swell picks up to about 5ft from the NNE, period stretches to 10 seconds, and the wind is a gentle offshore at 9 mph. The combined energy rockets to 447 (strong) and the surf is clean. That’s the best wave of the whole forecast. It’s a bit much for a total beginner, but for a solid intermediate, that’s a fun little window. The optimum direction for this spot is E, so this NNE swell is a bit off-angle, but with the clean conditions, it’s still the pick.
Thursday the 24th has similar size at 5ft, but the wind turns cross-on and choppy, so it’s not as clean. By Friday the 25th, the swell drops to 4ft and the wind goes onshore. So, mark your calendar for the early morning of Wednesday the 23rd. That’s your best shot after a long flat spell.
Rusty.
