What’s up, it’s Rusty. Let’s break down the next 16 days for Miami, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it.

This is a rough patch. We are looking at a classic slow spell with absolutely nothing to get excited about. Miami is a consistent spot, so a blank run like this isn’t the norm, but when it happens, it happens. Forecasts can flick a switch, so don’t lose hope.

The whole first week kicks off Sunday, July 5th with weak ESE swell around 6ft and a cross-shore breeze that’s ruining any chance of clean surf. Energy is moderate (407) but the chop is relentless. This ugly pattern holds steady all the way through Thursday, July 9th, with swell dropping to 3ft and the wind staying onshore or cross-onshore. Small, messy, not worth your time.

You’ll see a little lift around Friday, July 10th and Saturday, July 11th with swell around 4ft and then dropping to 2ft, but the wind is still a problem. On Saturday the 11th, the period jumps to 12 seconds – that’s groundswell – but at only 2ft and with cross-onshore wind, it’s not going to offer anything rideable. The long period needs a point or reef to shine, but again, the wind kills it.

From Monday, July 13th right up to Monday, July 20th, it’s a broken record. Swell hangs between 3ft and 4ft with wind always from the east or southeast, keeping a constant chop on the face. By Thursday, July 16th morning, the combined energy drops to a weak 58 – that’s flat, no power.

There’s no standout here. No clean wave. The wind never plays ball, the swell is small, and it’s mostly short-period junk. If it weren’t for the constant onshore breeze, this might be a kiteboarder’s playground, but for us surfers, it’s a total wash. Hang tight and wait for the next system.

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.
