Alright, let's get into it. It's Rusty here, and I've got to be straight with you – this is one of those outlooks where we're just not blessed. The whole 16-day window is basically a bust for decent waves at Dunes Hotel in Miami.
We start off on Tuesday, July 7th, and it's flat. Tiny, weak stuff at 0.3ft with a 8-second period and only 3 units of energy. The wind is a light cross-onshore, but the waves are just not there. And it doesn't get any better. Wednesday the 8th shows a little bump to 2ft, but with a 4-second period and only 18 units of energy under a moderate cross-onshore breeze, it's not surfable. Thursday through the weekend is more of the same – heights bouncing between 0.3ft and 3ft, but the period stays short, the energy stays low (never even hitting 100), and the wind is consistently howling cross-onshore or onshore, making everything choppy and messy.
The water temperature is a balmy 88°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's small comfort when there's nothing to ride. The break itself is inconsistent and sheltered, so it takes a lot to get it going, and this forecast just doesn't have the juice. Every single session across the entire 16 days has a "poor surf conditions" comment with a score of 0 out of 10. There is literally no standout, no hidden gem. Even the Monday morning the 13th with glassy conditions is let down by a 1ft swell. There's a long gap of nothing – the whole period.
With the swell being this weak and the wind mostly cross or onshore, the setup honestly looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for anyone who's desperate to get on the water. Keep an eye on things, but for now, don't bother waxing up.
