Table - best surf conditions forecast for 13th Ave South Surfside over the next 16 days.
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the 16-day window starts off with a long, flat spell. We’ve got nothing worth paddling out for from Monday 13th July right through to the morning of Saturday 18th July. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the conditions are messy. It’s a real write-off.
The first real sign of life shows up on the morning of Sunday 19th July. That’s the standout in this whole outlook. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the south, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 148. The wind is offshore from the WSW, keeping things clean. For a break that’s exposed to the south-east, this south swell is a bit of a mismatch, but the clean conditions make it worth a look. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 84°. The crowd profile here says “sometimes,” so you might have a few others out, but it’s not a circus. This is a beginner spot and it’s inconsistent, so don’t expect perfection, but it’s the best we’ve got.
After that Sunday morning, it drops back down. The rest of the window is a mix of tiny swell, poor wind, and very ordinary conditions. The afternoon of Monday 20th July sees a brief bump to 3 ft from the south, but the wind is onshore and the combined energy is 128. It’s not great. The morning of Thursday 23rd July has a small 2 ft swell from the south with clean offshore wind, but it’s just not enough to get excited about. The rest of the period is a run of tiny, choppy, or cross-shore days.
So, the honest truth is, there’s only one session that really stands out: the morning of Sunday 19th July at 13th Ave South Surfside. It’s not a world-class day, but it’s the only clean, surfable wave in the whole 16-day window. The rest of the time, you’re better off keeping the board in the car.
