Alright, let’s be real here. This Miami forecast is a total flat spell. The only break we’ve got is Dunes Hotel (Miami), and it’s a sheltered, inconsistent beginner wave that rarely breaks at all.
The whole 16-day stretch is a bust. There’s a big ol' gap of no surf from start to finish. The wave energy never gets past weak, with the highest combined energy hitting just 34—that’s barely a bump. Most days it’s far less.
Starting Sunday afternoon, July 5th, we’ve got a tiny 1ft SSE swell with a useless 3-second period—just wind slop. Wind is cross-onshore at 12 mph, making it choppy and nasty. Water temp is 87°, which is a touch warmer than usual, but that’s the only highlight.
This sad story just repeats. All through the first week and the second, it’s puny swell—never more than 2ft—and almost always cross-onshore wind. Monday morning the 13th goes glassy with a light S wind, but the swell is just 0.3ft from the north. You’d be floating on a millpond. Periods hit 9 seconds a few times, but with no size, it’s no good.
The break prefers a NE swell, and we get a couple of tiny pulses from that direction, but they’re 0.3ft to 0.7ft—worthless. The longest period we see is 9 seconds, which can mean better shape, but not when there’s nothing to shape.
There’s no standout. Nothing to get excited about. This area sees these flat runs, so it’s normal, but still a bummer. For the next two weeks, save the paddle and maybe rig up a kite if the wind picks up. The surf is gone.
Rusty.
