The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty.
Look, I’m gonna level with you. The next sixteen days around Dunes Hotel (Miami)
are looking pretty grim for anyone wanting to get a proper wave. We’ve got a long,
flat spell ahead, and there’s just nothing out there that’s going to get the heart
rate up. If you’re a beginner just wanting to mess around in the shorey, maybe,
but there’s no real swell on the cards.
The water’s sitting at 86°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at
least you won’t need a hood. But that’s about the only positive.
We’re looking at a solid stretch of poor surf and tiny, weak waves. The energy
readings are all in the single digits and low teens – that’s weak stuff. Through
Monday the 10th and into the middle of the week, we’ve got southeast winds
blowing cross-on, making things choppy. Swell heights are hovering around 1ft
to 0.3ft with short, crumbly periods of 3 to 5 seconds. Not surf.
The weekend of the 15th and 16th isn't any better. Saturday morning the wind picks
up to a fresh 19 mph breeze from the southeast, and the swell bumps to 4ft, but
with a period of just 5 seconds and that wind, it’s going to be lumpy and messy –
not worth the paddle. The energy does creep up to 72, which is moderate, but the
quality is just not there.
The following week stays flat. We’re talking about days of 0.3ft to 0.7ft slop,
with periods that occasionally push past 10 seconds, but there’s no power behind
it. The energy readings stay in the 2 to 20 range – weak, weak, weak. There’s a
tiny window on the morning of the 18th where the wind goes light offshore from the
west, and it’ll be clean, but there’s nothing to ride. It’s a glassy, empty ocean.
Basically, there are no good surf options in the entire 16-day window. For this
area, that blank run isn't unheard of. It’s a long stretch of nothing, but the
forecast can always change. Don't sell your board just yet, but I wouldn’t be
setting the alarm for dawn patrol this week. It’s a waiting game, plain and simple.
Keep it salty,
Rusty
