Miami surf guide

Miami is a popular surf spot located along the Gold Coast of Australia. It used to be a quieter area where surfers could find some space, but these days, it attracts more crowds. The beach stretches eastward and offers a variety of waves, making it a go-to for both new and experienced surfers. It’s a friendly place for anyone looking to catch some waves.

The best time to surf Miami is when the swell is coming from the East, with also some decent action from the NorthEast and SouthEast. The waves here generally handle swell sizes of around 2ft (0.6 meters), breaking over sand. You can expect both left and right-breaking waves, which is great for practicing your skills. To make the most of your surf session, aim to hit the water during low to mid tide and try to catch the waves when the wind is coming from the West for cleaner conditions.

One thing to keep in mind is that Miami is best suited for beginners, so if you're new to surfing, you’ll fit right in. The facilities at the North Burleigh Surf Life Saving Club are convenient for surfers looking for amenities. Overall, Miami serves up a mix of fun waves, making it a solid choice for locals and tourists alike.

Wind certainty

Wind certainty tells you how much the weather models agree on the forecast.

  • High certainty: Models agree closely; forecast is reliable.
  • Medium certainty: Some disagreement; conditions may shift slightly.
  • Low certainty: Models diverge; treat forecast with caution.

We calculate this by comparing wind speed, gust and direction from multiple models (like GFS, ECMWF, Arome, and Harmonie) and seeing how closely they match. They are weighted, meaning that some models count more than others, depending on how good they are for a certain spot.

Forecast Cheat Sheet

Short on time? Focus on wave energy. It’s the best single metric to gauge how big and powerful the waves will be.

Click any table cell to jump to that forecast hour. The map will update with forecast arrows, so you can see if wind and swell direction are lining up.

Use the table sidebar to switch units for height and speed.

Log your surf sessions to compare forecasts with real sessions and sharpen future predictions.

On the map, click a metric label to bring that arrow to the front — handy when arrows overlap.

Models and Updates

Surfnerd blends multiple global and local wind and swell models using advanced interpolation and spatial techniques to create an "ensemble" forecast. Forecasts are refreshed hourly.

Surf Predictions

Our AI-driven algorithm scores surf quality, shown by green, orange, and gray dots. Each forecast hour is rated for wind, swell, and tide quality, then combined into an overall score. Here’s the scale:

Perfect
Good
Average
Bad or No Data

Session logs also feed the algorithm — the more you log, the smarter your forecasts get.

With Surfnerd, no more "you should have been here yesterday"
