Alright, Rusty here again. Let's look at what we’ve got in feet and degrees Fahrenheit.
You know what? It’s still a total dud for South Beach, Miami. For the entire 16 days, we’re looking at flat to tiny waves and rough conditions. From now all the way to Monday, July 27th, there’s nothing to get excited about. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly blowing onshore or cross-onshore, and the whole thing is just chop and bump.
Forget a standout. You’d need a kite to have any fun, because the wave energy is extremely weak and the swell direction is wrong for this break. A couple of mornings start off glassy, like Friday July 17th and Saturday July 18th, but with wave heights barely 0.3ft, there’s nothing to ride. The water is warm, about 87° on that first day, feeling a touch warmer than normal.
The only hint of something happens at the very end on Monday the 27th afternoon, with a combined wave energy of 37 and a swell hitting about 3ft from the SSE, but it’s still rated poor and blowing cross-onshore. It’s a quiet run for the area, and it’s not unusual to see this. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board at home.
Rusty.
