The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, let's have a look at what's coming our way down at 13th Ave South Surfside. To be honest, it's a pretty quiet stretch ahead. The water is sitting at 84°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year, so it's a bit on the balmy side.
The next couple of weeks look flat and uninspiring. From now right through to July 21st, the surf is basically a no-go. We're talking tiny, weak waves with poor conditions. The energy is barely registering, with combined swell readings mostly under 30 (19), and it's often choppy or onshore. You're better off leaving the board in the car.
There's a bit of a flicker on Tuesday, July 22nd. The morning shows some clean conditions with a light cross-offshore wind from the West at 6 mph, and the swell is a tiny 0.7 ft from the SE (combined energy 44). It's small, and the report says it's surfable but very ordinary. It's not going to set the world on fire, but it might be the only session worth paddling out for if you're desperate for a wet leash.
The weekend of July 26th and 27th also has a few glassy mornings with a little bit of swell around 1 ft to 2 ft from the south, but again, the overall energy is very low. It's not going to be good enough to recommend as a standout.
Honestly, the only real highlight in this whole 16-day window is a moment on Saturday, July 25th. Saturday morning is looking glassy, with a light NNW wind at 3 mph, and a 2 ft swell from the South (combined energy 60). The conditions will be clean. It's not big, but if you want the best of a quiet period, that's your window. The SE swell direction is in the ballpark for the optimum here.
For the rest of the time, and especially on July 24th when the swell jumps to 4 ft but with strong onshore wind, it's probably more interesting for the kite crew than for paddle surfing. Keep an eye on it, but don't hold your breath.
