The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be honest with each other. Looking at this 16-day window for the Miami area, I’m struggling to find much to get excited about. The truth is, there are no good surf options on the table right now. The whole period is a flat spell, and for a sheltered spot like Dunes Hotel (Miami), that’s just how it goes sometimes. It’s not unusual for this area to go through a blank run like this, so don’t lose hope – forecasts can change, and it never stays this quiet forever.
Let’s break it down. The first week is almost non-existent. From the very start, we’re looking at tiny, weak swells. For instance, on the morning of Sunday the 6th of September, we’ve got a 0.3ft swell from the NE with a short period of 6 seconds and a combined energy of just 3 (weak). It’s not worth paddling out for. The wind is light cross-off, so it’s clean, but there’s simply no wave to ride. That theme carries on through Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday – a few mornings go glassy (like Tuesday the 8th of September morning with zero wind), but the swell stays at 0.3ft to 1ft. On Wednesday the 9th of September morning, we see the highest swell of this period, a 1ft from the NNE with a period of 9 seconds and energy of 45 (weak). Still, it’s onshore wind, and the waves are too small to surf properly. The afternoons are a bit choppier with cross-onshore winds, so not ideal.
The second week continues in the same vein. The swell doesn’t really build. The most we see is a 3ft from the NE on Tuesday the 15th of September afternoon, but with a short period of 4 seconds and energy of only 23 (weak), it’s not going to produce anything rideable. The winds are mostly moderate cross-onshore, so conditions are choppy. By the end of the period, we’re back down to 0.3ft again.
Honestly, this is one of those times where the ocean is just flat. There’s no standout session, no hidden gem to chase. If you’re desperate for a paddle, maybe a glassy morning like Tuesday the 8th of September or Monday the 21st of September might be okay for a float, but don’t expect any waves.
This is Rusty, signing off. Stay patient.
