The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the Miami area.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with ya – the next 16 days are lookin’ flat and bleak. We’re talkin’ a real desert stretch for surf. There’s nothing on the table that’s even worth paddlin’ out for. The whole period is a write-off. The swell energy is pathetic, never even cracking triple digits, with the highest reading at just 29 (weak energy). It’s a tough run.
The first real chance of anything is a total no-go. Sunday the 19th through the rest of July and into August, the waves are tiny, the wind is almost always on it or cross-onshore, and the period is short, mostly 4 to 5 seconds. It’s just choppy, messy, and unrideable.
We see a few moments of clean, glassy conditions, like the mornings of the 27th, 28th, 29th, and 30th of July, with light offshore or cross-offshore breezes from the southwest and west. But it doesn’t matter because the swell is next to nothing – 0.7 ft to 1 ft. You’d be bobbin’ around on a lake. The wind is perfect, but there’s no wave to ride.
The only break on the radar is Dunes Hotel (Miami). It’s a sheltered, inconsistent beginner spot, and it’s not gonna fire. The crowds are often gonna be there for no reason, because there’s no surf. The swell that does creep in is from the SSE or NE, which is not its optimum from the NE.
Honestly, the only thing that might save this is if you’re a kitesurfer. With the stronger afternoon winds on a few days and that tiny, poor-quality chop, it might be more interesting for a kite than a paddle. But for a surfboard? There’s nothin’ here. The forecast can change, but for now, park the board and take a break.
