The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s heading our way for the next couple of weeks.
I’ve got to be honest with you – it’s a rough outlook for the Miami area. Right through the entire 16-day forecast, we’re looking at poor surf conditions. The wind is locked in from the southeast, blowing at 12 to 16 mph, sitting cross-on all day, every day. That’s going to keep things choppy and messy. There’s no standout window of clean surf anywhere in the forecast, so if you’re itching for a wave, you might be better off with a kite than a paddle.
The swell is coming from the east-southeast, mostly around 3 ft to 4 ft, with a short, weak period of just 6 to 7 seconds. That’s windswell, not groundswell, so the waves will be crumbly and lack punch. The combined energy stays mostly in the low three-digit range, hitting 385 on the 1st of August, which is moderate, but still with the same poor quality. By the 1st of August, the swell bumps up to 5 ft to 6 ft, and the energy climbs (385), but the wind is still cross-on and the conditions are still poor. For a beginner, anything over 5 ft is a bit much, and with the chop, it’s not a safe bet.
Water temperature is sitting at a normal 80° for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze while you’re staring at the bump.
There are no good surf options in this 16-day window. The forecast is consistent, but consistently poor. It’s a tough stretch, but it won’t last forever. Keep an eye on the charts, things can change.
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.
