Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s be honest: 13th Ave South Surfside is looking pretty flat and messy for the next couple weeks. Water temp is about 84°F — normal for July.
From Saturday July 4th all the way to Friday July 10th, the combined energy is weak (mostly under 100, with values like 16 to 86), tiny swell heights between 1ft and 4ft, and short periods. Winds blow cross-onshore or cross most of the time. There’s a cleaner slot Wednesday July 8th morning (WSW cross-off 6 mph) and Friday July 10th morning (WSW cross-off 9 mph), but even then the waves are small and weak.
Saturday July 11th morning is the best of a bad bunch — combined energy hits 116 (moderate), swell about 3ft from the south, period 6 seconds, and clean WSW cross-off wind at 9 mph. That’s the pick of the whole 16 days, but it’s still pretty marginal even for a longboard.
From Sunday July 12th through Sunday July 19th, it’s back to tiny swell, messy wind, and energy readings mostly below 60. The spot is an inconsistent beach break that rarely holds any decent size, and this stretch proves it. With swell barely reaching 3ft and choppy breezes, it’s more interesting for kite surfing than a proper surf session.
There’s no real standout. The morning of July 11th is your best bet — clean and rideable on a big board. But honestly, don’t expect much.
Rusty.
