Dunes Hotel (Miami)

📍 Local Knowledge

Dunes Hotel (Miami) in South Florida is a sheltered beach break that only works occasionally, with no strong seasonal pattern. The best conditions arise when west winds meet northeast swells, producing left-hand beach breaks. It works best around low tide as the tide is rising. Despite its infrequent surf, it’s a popular spot that can get crowded when it’s on. Hazards include rips, obstacles, pollution, localism, and sharks. The most consistent clean waves are typically found in winter, with January being the prime month.
