Table - best surf conditions forecast for 13th Ave South Surfside over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day outlook for 13th Ave South Surfside is pretty much a bust. We’re looking at a long, boring stretch with no real surf on offer. The break is inconsistent at the best of times, and right now, the ocean isn't cooperating.
The first few days are a total write-off. From Thursday, the 9th of July, right through the weekend and into the next week, we’re seeing nothing but weak, short-period windswell. The combined swell energy is barely cracking two digits, sitting at a measly 17 on Thursday morning, and it never really gets going. Thursday afternoon sees a bit more size at 3 ft, but it’s a messy, 4-second period with a fresh cross-shore wind that’s just going to chop it up. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. The wind swings around a bit, giving us a few glassy moments like Sunday morning, but with the swell at just 1 ft and a 6-second period, there’s nothing to actually ride. It’s a flat spell, plain and simple.
We have to wait all the way to Friday, the 24th of July, to see the biggest bump. That morning, the swell finally pushes up to 4 ft from the S, with a combined energy of 136 – that’s the only moderate energy reading in the whole window. But even then, the period is a short 6 seconds, and the wind is a cross-onshore, so the surf will be lumpy and poor. It’s not a standout, it’s just the only thing that’s not completely flat. There’s no standout session here. With the combined swell energy so low for almost the entire two weeks, and the spot being inconsistent, this blank run is pretty normal for the area. The forecast can change, but right now, I’d leave the board in the garage.
Rusty.
