Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Miami is a tough one. We’ve only got one break, 21st Street, and across the whole run it’s flat, weak, and messy. Right now, the swell is barely a ripple at 1ft, with a short, weak 4-second period and lousy cross-shore winds. The whole forecast period is what I’d call a blank run, with a string of days offering nothing rideable. The combined energy of all swells stays in the weak range, mostly under 45 (like 8 to 45), so there’s just no power in the water. It’s not unusual for this area to see a run like this when the conditions are quiet – it’s a fact of life here.
The first real chance at anything isn’t until much later. On Monday, July 15th, in the morning, we get a tiny 0.7ft swell from the NNE, but the wind goes glassy and then offshore from the SW. That’s clean, but it’s also ankle-high. The next real standout comes on Tuesday, July 16th, in the morning. Again, a tiny 1ft from the NE, but the wind is light and cross-offshore from the S, making for clean, glassy conditions. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no worries there.
The best on offer, if you can call it that, is probably the morning of July 16th. The swell is still only 1ft, but with a period of 8 seconds and clean conditions, a longboard might catch a few knee-high runners. The break is inconsistent, so don’t expect much. Crowds are possible here, so you might have some company while you’re waiting. Honestly, this is a time to check the forecasts again in a few days – it tends not to stay this poor for long.
Rusty, signing off.
