The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it. The outlook for the next couple of weeks is pretty grim. We've got a long stretch of flat, lumpy, or just plain messy conditions ahead. The first Saturday morning on the 1st of August is the only time that even starts to look a bit interesting, so we're talking about a gap of nearly two weeks of poor surf before that.
The first real chance of a wave comes on Saturday the 1st of August. Dunes Hotel (Miami) is the spot to look at. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 86.7°F.
On the morning of Saturday the 1st of August, the wind swings light from the SW, going cross-offshore. That's the first time we see the word "clean" in the forecast. The swell is tiny, only 2ft from the SE with a short period of 4 seconds. The combined energy is weak (16). So we're not talking about a proper surf, just the least messy option in a very messy period. The break is sheltered and inconsistent, so don't expect a lot. Still, it looks like a clean little ankle-snapper for a beginner to mess around on. The wind turns fresh and cross from the S in the afternoon, 19 mph, and it'll get lumpy again, so the morning is your only window.
That's it. That's the pick. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off with cross and onshore winds, tiny chop, and zero swell energy. A blank run like this is pretty normal for this area when the conditions are this stubborn. Keep your eyes on the forecasts, it can't stay this bad forever.
