The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about the next couple of weeks. I’ve looked at what’s coming, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for any proper surf. We’re looking at a long, quiet run with nothing to get excited about.
The first real chance of a wave doesn’t even show up, and when it does, it’s barely a ripple. Right from the start, Thursday morning, we’re looking at tiny 0.7 ft of easterly swell with a bit of period, but the energy is weak (10) and the wind is a cross-shore mess. The water is a warm 87°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only highlight.
The whole first week is a dud. Friday brings a bit more swell, but it’s short-period stuff (4 seconds) and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and unappealing. The weekend offers nothing – Saturday morning has a meagre 1 ft from the SSE with weak energy (10) and a cross-onshore wind. Sunday morning goes glassy for a brief moment, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3 ft.
We go through the whole second week with the same story. The swell tries to pick up a little around Wednesday the 9th, with 3 ft from the NNE and energy kicking up to 85, but it’s all onshore wind. The best we see is 3 ft on the 13th, but that’s from the SE with a short period of 5 seconds and onshore winds. For a spot like Dunes Hotel (Miami) that’s sheltered and inconsistent anyway, this is a total flat spell. The setup might look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the onshore winds and weak, crumbly waves.
Honestly, there’s just no standout, no silver lining. The forecast is bleak, and it’s a blank run that’s pretty normal for this area when it goes quiet. Keep the board in the car, but don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to chase.
Rusty.
