Alright, let’s be straight with you. Looking at this whole 16-day stretch for Miami, there’s just no real surf to speak of. The swell is tiny, the wind is never doing us any favours, and it’s all pretty flat and bumpy.
Starting Wednesday, July 8th. The water’s sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. You’ve got a tiny 2 ft swell out of the SE with a weak, short period of 4 seconds. The combined energy of all swells directed here is only 18 – weak as can be. With a cross-onshore wind blowing at 9 mph, it’s just choppy, poor surf. That’s your whole first day.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday through the first week – same deal. Tiny waves, mostly 0.3 ft to 2 ft, short periods under 6 seconds, and those cross-onshore or onshore winds. The energy numbers are all low, from 3 up to 68. The wind is always from the SE or ESE, blowing right across the break. No clean glass, no proper offshore flow to clean it up.
The second week doesn’t change anything. From Monday, July 14th right through to Wednesday, July 23rd, the pattern holds. Swell heights stay under 3 ft, periods are mostly 4 to 5 seconds, and the combined energy never even hits moderate – the highest I see is 56 on Friday, July 17th, but that’s still weak. Wind stays stubbornly cross-on or on, and the surf quality is consistently poor. There’s nothing here to get a board wet for.
The Dunes Hotel spot is super sheltered and inconsistent – it rarely breaks. So a long flat stretch like this is actually normal for the area. The swell never gets the size or direction it needs, and the wind never plays ball. For a surfer, there’s nothing. If the wind stays like this and the swell stays this small, it’s probably more interesting for kiteboarding than paddling.
Save the wax. Keep an eye on it, forecasts can change, but right now this is a flat, choppy run.
