Table - best surf conditions forecast for 13th Ave South Surfside over the next 16 days.
Alright, let me have a look at what we've got for 13th Ave South Surfside.
First off, this spot is a beginner-friendly sandbar, but it's inconsistent – it doesn't fire often. Over the next 16 days, honestly, it's pretty grim. There's a long dry spell from now right through to the 16th – barely a ripple worth paddling for. Most days are either too windy, too small, or just messy. A few mornings show clean conditions but with tiny 1–2ft swell and short periods, not enough to get excited about.
The one bright spot – and I mean the *only* bright spot – is Friday morning, July 17. We get a little pulse of 4ft swell out of the south, period around 7 seconds (short period wind swell, so not groundswell but still something). Combined energy hits 204 – that's moderate wave energy, enough to push through. And the wind? Light breeze from the west, cross-offshore, so the faces will be clean. For a beginner spot, that's about as good as it gets in this run. The crowds are *sometimes* here, but on a Friday morning with minimal hype you might have it mostly to yourself.
After that, it's back to the doldrums – Sunday the 19th has a bit of 3ft but the wind is cross-on and choppy, and the rest barely registers. If you're keen, that Friday the 17th is your window. Otherwise, keep the board in the car and wait for a better run.
