The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, flat spell.
The only spot on the radar is Dunes Hotel (Miami), and honestly, it’s not looking good. The entire 16-day forecast is a blank. We’re talking about tiny, wind-affected dribble at best. The swell is almost non-existent, with the combined energy barely hitting 20 (weak) on the best days, and most of the time it's a measly 4 to 9. The water is a warm 87°, which is about what you'd expect for this time of year.
For the first week, from Wednesday the 22nd of July through to the end of the month, it’s a write-off. We’ve got a few pulses of 2ft swell from the east and southeast, but it’s weak, short-period (4 seconds) stuff, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, making it choppy and messy. There’s a brief moment on the morning of Thursday the 30th of July and the morning of Friday the 31st of July where it goes glassy, but the swell is still just 0.3ft. You’d be floating more than surfing.
The second week doesn’t get any better. The first few days of August offer clean conditions with cross-offshore or offshore winds, but the swell is still tiny. On the morning of Monday the 3rd of August, we get a bit of a puff with 2ft from the SSE and a clean offshore wind from the west, but the period is only 4 seconds. It’s not enough to get excited about. The combined energy is only 12 (weak). This break is sheltered and inconsistent at the best of times, so a run of flat days like this is pretty normal for the area.
Honestly, this setup is more interesting for a kite than a paddle. The waves just aren't there. Forecasts can change, but for now, keep the boards in the car and wait for the next one.
Rusty.
