As the long beach starts to curve eastwards towards Burleigh Heads, the aspect improves for cleaner conditions in S winds, but it any SE swell will slightly by-pass the Miami stretch. Used to be a bit of a quiet spot away from the crowds, but these days nowhere is empty along the Surfers strip. Beat the wind by getting up early and avoid high tide when the waves go slack and the outside/inside channel cuts length of ride.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
