Alright, Rusty here again, and I've got to level with you – it's a tough outlook for Fort Lauderdale 14th Street over this 16-day stretch. The wave machine is just not firing. Every single report I see is calling it "poor surf conditions," so we're not exactly spoiled for choice.

The story starts on Thursday, July 2nd. The morning offers a tiny 3ft swell from the NNE, with a weak energy reading (65) and a short, 7-second period. The wind is glassy though, so it'll look pretty as a picture. The water temp is 86°, which is about 1° warmer than average for this time of year – feels good, but the waves are a no-show. That poor surf tag sticks through the whole day, and honestly, it never really changes. The pattern is the same day after day: tiny swells, mostly under 3ft, with cross-onshore or onshore winds chopping up what little shape there is.

The energy readings stay weak, never getting into the triple digits, with most days sitting in the teens and thirties. The swell periods are short, mostly 4 to 8 seconds, meaning it's all wind-slop. There are a couple of glassy moments, like on the morning of Sunday, July 12th, and the morning of Monday, July 13th, but with swells of only 1ft and 2ft, it's barely a bump. For a beginner-friendly, sheltered spot, that's just not enough.

I can't point to any standout days here. Your best bet would be a clean, glassy morning with a log and zero expectations. This is a flat spell for the area. It won't stay this way forever, maybe the forecasts will change, but for now, there's nothing to surf.

Rusty.

Information about the Fort Lauderdale 14th Street Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Fort Lauderdale 14th Street provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Fort Lauderdale 14th Street can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Fort Lauderdale 14th Street surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Fort Lauderdale 14th Street) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Fort Lauderdale 14th Street may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.

Fort Lauderdale 14th Street is 2 km (1 miles) from the city of Sunrise. If you plan a vacation in South Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Sunrise. Sunrise has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
