The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Fort Lauderdale is a tough one. We’ve got a real flat spell on our hands, so don’t be expecting much. The only spot we’ve got to look at is Fort Lauderdale 14th Street, and it’s not exactly firing.
Right off the bat, from Wednesday the 5th right through to the end of the period on Thursday the 20th, it’s a whole lot of nothing. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1.0 ft to 3 ft, and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, messing up any chance of clean little waves. The combined energy of the swells is weak, barely cracking 90 (94) at its best on the 16th, but with poor conditions. It’s a real bummer.
For beginners, there’s a brief moment on the morning of Tuesday the 18th. The wind goes glassy, which is a major positive, but the swell is only 1.0 ft from the ESE. That’s tiny, weak energy (33), and the spot is inconsistent to begin with, so don’t get your hopes up. You might get a few knee-high ripples if you’re desperate.
The best of a bad bunch comes on the morning of Thursday the 20th. We get glassy conditions again – a rare treat – with a 2 ft swell from the SE. The period is short at 4 seconds, so it’s weak and crumbly, but combined energy is only 41. It’s still poor surf, but for a beginner who just wants to sit on a board, it’s the cleanest option in a very flat outlook. Crowds are likely here, but with surf this small, it shouldn’t be packed.
Water temp is about average for the time of year, so no drama there.
Overall, this is a blank run. It’s a normal stretch for the area when the summer pattern goes quiet. We just have to wait for the next pulse.
Rusty.
