The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the 16-day stretch for 13th Ave South Surfside.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a slow start. We’ve got a few days of pretty weak, crummy conditions to get through. The water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is about what you'd expect for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Wednesday and Thursday are a write-off. Tiny swell, messy wind, just not worth paddling out. Friday and Saturday are more of the same – we’re talking ankle-biters with onshore junk. Honestly, you’re looking at a solid gap of nothing until we hit Sunday the 19th.
Now, Sunday the 19th is where it gets interesting. That morning, a 4ft S swell rolls in with a cross-offshore WSW breeze at 9 mph. The water cleans right up. The combined energy jumps to (201) – that’s the first real pulse we’ve seen. It’s not huge, but it's clean and surfable. This is the standout of the whole outlook. The swell direction is S but the optimum is SE, so it’s not a perfect match, but clean waves on a Sunday morning? I’ll take it. Just be aware, this spot can get a crowd sometimes.
That little spike fades fast. Sunday afternoon gets choppy again, and Monday the 20th is back to small stuff. We get a few more clean mornings with light winds through the end of July, but the swell stays small – mostly under 3ft.
The real surprise comes right at the end. On Wednesday the 29th, we’ve got a 4ft S swell with a NNE cross-offshore breeze, making for clean conditions and (131) combined energy. Nothing epic, but solid. Then on Thursday the 30th afternoon, we see the biggest swell of the window at 4ft S, and here’s the kicker – glassy conditions. Zero wind. That’s a rare treat for an afternoon session. Combined energy hits (140) and it’s clean. For a spot that’s been inconsistent and often flat, this is a real blessing to end the run.
So the best on offer? Definitely Sunday the 19th morning for that first real pulse of clean surf, and that glassy Thursday the 30th afternoon for a little end-of-period gem. Don’t expect much else. The rest is mostly small and ordinary.
