The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a paddle. Let’s break it down.
We’re looking at Dunes Hotel (Miami). The whole window is just a flat spell. The water temp is sitting right around 86°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so at least a swim is comfortable.
From August 8th right through to the end of the window on August 23rd, there’s not a single session worth chasing. The swell energy is tiny, barely cracking 40 (combined energy) on the best days, which is weak. The swell heights are mostly under 3 feet, mixed with real short period stuff – 4 to 5 seconds of wind chop. Winds are nearly always onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and messy.
The best we see is a couple of glassy mornings around August 21st and 22nd, with light west winds or even calm conditions. But the waves are still ankle-snappers at 0.7 ft. There’s a bit of a bump on August 23rd with a 2 ft swell from the NNE and a period of 9 seconds, but the wind shifts to a cross-shore in the afternoon, killing any chance of a clean line.
Honestly, this stretch is a write-off. It’s more of a kite-surfing setup if the wind picks up, but for a proper surf? Forget it. The break is sheltered and inconsistent, so a blank run like this isn’t out of the ordinary here. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.
