Alright, Rusty here again, giving it to you straight for Dunes Hotel in Miami.
Honestly, looking over the full 16-day stretch, it’s a tough go for surfers. This spot is sheltered and rarely breaks, and we’re looking at a long, flat patch with nothing worth paddling out for. There’s a giant gap with no recommendations from the start of the period until the second week.
The water is running about 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Finally, around Thursday the 16th, we get a pulse. The morning brings a tiny 4ft swell from the ESE, but it’s super weak with a short period of just 5 seconds. The combined energy is weak at (71). The wind is light and from the east (on), but it’s still poor surf quality. Not a winner, just the first sign of something.
The most you’ll get is on Friday the 17th. The morning shows 5ft from the ENE, still a poor period of 6 seconds. The energy hits a moderate (122), which is the best of the whole run. Still, a moderate cross-onshore breeze from the ESE keeps it choppy. The afternoon is similar with onshore wind and (138) energy, but don’t be fooled—the quality is poor. It’s a bit much for beginners, and the short period ruins any chance of a good shape.
After that, it drops back below 3ft quickly with onshore winds and poor conditions. The 16th and 17th are really the only days with anything on offer, and they aren't great.
Honestly, with the choppy, onshore winds and beach setup, this forecast looks a lot more fun for a kite surfer than for someone trying to paddle into a wave.
Rusty.
