The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you right off the bat. Looking at Dunes Hotel (Miami) for the next 16 days, it’s a pretty grim stretch. The water is warm, sitting at 87°F with the anomaly showing it’s about average for the time of year, but that’s about the only thing going for us.
Honestly, we’ve got a long dry spell ahead. The first real chance to even think about paddling out doesn’t show up until Sunday, August 16th, and even then, it’s a tough sell. Before that, from now through Saturday, August 15th, the swell is tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the combined energy barely ever cracks 50 (weak energy). It’s flat, choppy, and completely unrideable. Don’t even bother.
Sunday, August 16th is the only day that might get your heart beating a little. The morning sees a bump of swell – 3ft from the SE with a short period of 5 seconds. That’s windswell, folks, not groundswell, so it’ll be a bit messy. The combined energy hits 52 (weak energy), which is the highest we’ll see. The wind is a cross-onshore from the ESE at 12 mph, so it’ll be choppy. This is the best we’ve got, but it’s not a standout. It’s a maybe for a desperate session.
After that, the rest of the forecast into the third week of August is a washout. Tiny waves, poor conditions, no energy. It’s a classic summer flat spell for this sheltered spot. The break is inconsistent and sheltered, so this kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area. The setup here is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on these days.
Stay tuned, forecasts can change, but for now, keep the boards in the garage. Rusty.
