The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Lookin' at the next couple of weeks for Miami, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. The overall pattern is one long, frustrating run of poor conditions. We're talkin' a solid gap of over a week with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. The winds are just not playing ball, and the swell is messy.
The first sign of any real swell doesn't show up until the 1st of August, but even then, the wind is all wrong. It's a real shame, because from the 1st of August right through to the 8th, we see a building swell. The combined energy climbs from a moderate 348 (moderate) all the way up to a very strong 1893 (very strong) by the 8th. But it's all accompanied by moderate cross-onshore winds, keeping the surf choppy and blown out.
The one glimmer of hope, and it's a long-range one, falls on the 8th of August. Saturday morning is our best bet, and it's a promise, not a certainty. We'll see a solid 8ft SE groundswell with a very long period of 11 seconds. The combined energy will be a massive 1893 (very strong). The water temp is around 80°F here, which is about average for the time of year. Now, a long period like that means the waves will have plenty of power, but at a beach break like Miami, it can make 'em a bit too straight and tricky. The wind is still a problem, bein' a moderate cross-onshore, but out of all the days, this is the only one that gets a marginal nod. It's an expert-only day with that size, but if you're a local charger who knows the sandbanks, it might be your only chance to get a piece of the action.
Don't get your hopes up for the rest; it's a waiting game. Stay tuned.
Rusty.

Information about the Miami Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Miami provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Miami can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Miami surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Miami) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Miami may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Miami is 8 km (5 miles) from the city of Natal. If you plan a holiday in Rio Grande Do Norte, look for hotels and other accommodation in Natal. Natal has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
