The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a bit of a bummer for our local waters. The only break on the cards is Dania South Beach, and it's a beginner-friendly, inconsistent beach and reef setup. The water is sitting at 87°F on Friday, which is about one degree Fahrenheit warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing too wild, just a touch of extra warmth.
The honest truth is that for the entire 16-day window, there isn't a single session that’s worth paddling out for. We're staring down a long, flat spell with no real recommendations. From Friday the 4th right through to Saturday the 19th of September, the data keeps repeating the same story: poor surf conditions. The combined swell energy is almost always in the weak range (under 100), often dipping into single digits or low teens – that tells you all you need to know.
Friday the 4th sees tiny 1ft to 2ft E/SE swells with a short period of only 4-5 seconds, and a cross-onshore breeze making things choppy. Saturday and Sunday are even smaller. There’s a brief moment Monday morning the 7th with glassy conditions from a WSW wind, but the swell is a pathetic 0.7ft – flat calm. As we move into the second week, the swell direction tries to shift from the NNE around the 9th, and we see the energy bump up to a moderate 102 on the 9th afternoon, but the wave height is still a meager 2ft with a short period of 9 seconds. The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, keeping it messy.
The best we get is on the 19th of September, a Saturday, where the swell nudges up to 3ft from the NNE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 99. That’s the highest energy in the whole run, but it's still weak, the period is short, and the wind is onshore. It’s still a “poor surf conditions” call. Honestly, with waves this weak and wind this messy, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
I hate to say it, but there’s nothing to get excited about. Leave the boards at home and keep an eye on the charts – it tends not to stay this poor for long. Rusty.
