Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’.
First up, I'm looking at 21st Street (Miami). Honestly, it’s a pretty grim picture for the next couple of weeks. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so that’s not your problem. The problem is, there’s just nothing happening. This spot is already inconsistent, and the entire 16-day window is pretty much a write-off.
We’re starting with next to nothing on Friday, July 10th. A tiny 3 ft south-east swell with a super short period of 5 seconds, and a cross-on wind from the ESE at 15 mph. The combined energy is a measly 48, so we’re talking weak, choppy junk. That’s the story right through the weekend and into the next week. Tiny, short-period waves with cross-onshore winds. It’s all "poor surf conditions" in the data.
There is one morning that stands out a little: Thursday, July 16th. We get a brief moment of glassy conditions with a light offshore wind from the west, but the swell is still only 2 ft from the NE with a period of 7 seconds. It’ll be clean, but don’t expect much push. The combined energy is still only 33. It’s the best on offer, but that’s like saying it’s the dryest towel on a wet floor.
After that, it’s back to the same old story. The swell barely tickles 3 ft by the end of the month, and the period stays short. The winds are almost always cross-on or onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. For a spot that’s just a fairly exposed beach, this setup is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There are no standout days. The whole run is a flat, blown-out mess. You’d be better off finding a different hobby for a couple of weeks.
Rusty.
