The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s be real – this is a rough one. I’ve looked over the next 16 days for 13th Ave South Surfside, and there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. The surf is flat, the wind is a mess, and it’s a real downer for anyone hoping to score.
For the whole stretch, we’re looking at waves that barely reach 1.0 ft on the biggest days (Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th), and even then, the wind is cross or cross-onshore, making it choppy and weak. The combined energy on Monday the 7th morning is only 64 – that’s just a whisper of energy. The little bumps of 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft that show up are all short-period, wind-swell junk. The water temp is 83°, which is about normal for the time of year.
The cleanest conditions come on a few mornings with light offshore or cross-off breezes, like Saturday the 5th, Thursday the 10th, and Wednesday the 16th. But the swell is laughably small – 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft – so you’d be fighting for a ride on a ripple. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this is a total flat spell. A couple of afternoons show a 10-second period from the SE, but the height is still just 1.0 ft.
This is a kite-surfing kind of setup, not a paddle-surfing one. It’s a dry run, but that’s the way it goes sometimes around here. Stick with it, and the forecasts might flip.
Rusty.
