Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dunes Hotel (Miami) over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you – the next two weeks in Miami are looking pretty flat. There’s a big gap of nothing worthwhile right at the start, and it’s a long wait for anything that gets the heart pumping.
For the first few days, from Saturday the 11th through to the end of the week, we’re looking at tiny, weak little waves. Honestly, it’s more of a lake paddle than a surf. The combined energy sits at just a measly 6 (moderate wave energy is 100-999) on Saturday, and it doesn’t improve much. Winds are mostly cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 87°, so it’s nice for a swim, but the surf is a no-go.
There’s a real dry spell here. Not a single option worth recommending until much later. The only break we have to look at is Dunes Hotel (Miami). It’s a sheltered, inconsistent beginner spot, and it almost never has enough juice. The forecast shows a long stretch of nothing but poor surf conditions.
Moving into the second week, we finally see a tiny pulse of energy on Wednesday the 22nd. The combined energy bumps up to 27 (still weak), with the swell at 2 ft from the SSE. It’s not big, but the wind turns cross-shore, giving us a cleaner look than the first week. The period is still short at 5 seconds, so it won’t have much push. Thursday the 23rd is similar, with a bit more energy (28). It’s the best on offer, but "best" here is a relative term. It’s still only for the patient beginner who just wants to get wet on a tiny wave.
After that, the energy fades again into the weekend. The 16-day window closes out with a return to tiny, choppy, cross-onshore slop. There’s not a single standout session in this whole outlook. The flat spells are pretty normal for this spot in the middle of summer, and forecasts can always change, but right now, I’d leave the board at home.
Rusty.
