The Lowdown
Let’s talk about what’s happening for the next couple of weeks around Dunes Hotel (Miami).
I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough outlook. For nearly two and a half weeks, the waves are flat or close to it. Swell heights are running from less than a foot up to just over 2 feet, with combined energy barely hitting triple digits (stuck between 4 and 31). The wind is mostly cross or onshore, keeping the water messy. The water is warm at 87°F – pretty normal for the season.
From Monday, July 27th all the way into early August, it’s poor conditions across the board. The swell direction never matches what this break needs, so there’s nothing to get excited about.
Early August shows a tiny bump, but it’s windswell with a period of just 4 seconds. The heights only reach about 2 feet and it’s choppy with onshore wind. Not worth suiting up for.
Now, there is one bright spot on the morning of Tuesday, August 11th. The swell pushes up to 4 feet from the SE, with energy hitting 67. The wind is light and cross-off from the SSW, so it’ll be clean. The period is short – 5 seconds – so expect the waves to be a bit soft and closey, but if you’re after the cleanest water, that’s your shot. Keep in mind, crowds are often a factor here, so you won’t be alone.
Outside of that, it’s a dry run. For this sheltered spot, that’s not unusual. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, I’d find something else to do.
