The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. I gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Fort Lauderdale 14th Street is a real bummer for the next 16 days. There's just nothing on offer for us surfers. The forecast is a long, empty stretch of flat days, so don't bother waxing up your board just yet.
We start off on Thursday, July 23rd, with a tiny 2ft of easterly swell, but it's got a weak 4-second period and a cross-onshore wind that's got it all chopped up. The combined wave energy is a measly 28, so it's a total washout. That sets the tone for the whole run.
From Friday, July 24th, all the way through to Friday, August 7th, it's the same story. Swell heights are mostly 0.7ft to 1ft, with periods of 8 seconds or less, and the wind is all over the place – cross-onshore, onshore, or just making a mess. We get a few clean windows here and there, like on Sunday, July 26th, and Monday, July 27th with some light cross-offshore breezes, but with only 0.7ft of swell and combined energy levels as low as 8 to 13, it's flat as a pancake. Even the rare moments of gentle offshore wind on July 31st and August 1st with a tiny bump to 2ft and 3ft can't save it. The swell is just too short-period and weak to do anything with.
This is one of those blank runs that can happen in this area. The water's sitting at a warm 86°F, which is about average for this time of year, but that's no comfort when there's nothing to ride.
Hang in there, and keep an eye on the forecast – it tends not to stay this poor for long. But for now, the beach is for sunbathing, not surfing.
Rusty.
