Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks have got cookin' for us. Straight up, I'll be honest with ya—this is a tough stretch. We're looking at a solid two-week spell where the surf just isn't gonna cooperate. From now, right through to the morning of Monday, July 21st, you're gonna be staring at a whole lot of flat, messy, or just plain unsurfable conditions. There are no standout days, no hidden gems, just a lot of waiting.
Wednesday, July 23rd morning is the first time it even thinks about waking up. We'll see a bit of energy bump with a combined swell energy of (32), offering up about a 3 foot swell from the SE, but that's about it. The rest of that day and into the next is the same story—wind is on it, making things a choppy mess.
So what's the best of a bad bunch? Honestly, there isn't one. This is a "stay home and wax your board" kinda outlook. The water's sitting at a warm 88°, a touch warmer than normal, but you won't feel it on a board that's just sittin' on the sand.
Look, if you're in South Beach (Miami), don't hold your breath. For the next two weeks, it’s a no-go for paddle surfing. A bit of that SE wind and small swell might get the kites interested, but for a proper wave? Nothin’ doin’. Save your energy.
Stay loose.
