Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening in your local waters. I’ll be straight up – this is a tough outlook. We’re looking at a near-empty forecast for the next 16 days. The only spot on the map is Dunes Hotel (Miami), and honestly, it’s a quiet one.

Right off the bat, we have a long stretch of nothing. The first recommendation doesn’t really kick in until Tuesday morning, July 7th, and even then, it’s barely a whisper. The water temp here is sitting about average for this time of year, nothing weird.

July 7th (Tuesday) through July 22nd (Wednesday) – This whole period is a write-off for serious surfing. The dominant story is tiny, weak swell. Most days the combined swell energy is barely a blip, often single digits. For example, the highest energy we see is 56 on Friday the 10th, but even that comes with a 3 ft swell from the SE, a short period of 5 seconds, and choppy cross-onshore winds. That’s a messy, gutless combo. The swell direction is mostly SE or NE, and the spot is sheltered with an optimum from the NE, so it’s not even lining up right.

Most mornings and afterdays are plagued by cross-onshore or onshore winds. There are a couple of clean moments – like Monday morning, July 13th, with a light offshore from the NW, but the swell is just 0.3 ft. You could paddle out on a log and not catch a thing. The same goes for Tuesday morning, July 14th, with clean conditions but still flat. The consistent pattern here is poor surf conditions across the board.

Because the swell is tiny and the quality is so poor, this setup looks way more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. There’s just no power in the water for us. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s pretty normal when the wind and swell don’t align. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, leave the boards in the car.

Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Dunes Hotel (Miami) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Dunes Hotel (Miami) surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Dunes Hotel (Miami) may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
