The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the next 16 days in feet and miles per hour.
To be honest, it’s a real bummer of a forecast. We’ve got a huge stretch of nothing, with no real surf on the cards. The first decent-looking window doesn't show up until the tail end of the outlook, and even then, it’s more of a hopeful whisper than a roar.
Dania South Beach (Florida) is the only game in town, and it’s a tough one. For the first two weeks, the swell is tiny and weak. Wave heights are barely 0.7ft to 3ft, mostly from the East or Southeast, with short periods – usually 4 seconds, which is just wind slop. The combined swell energy is pathetic, ranging from 14 to 50 (weak energy). The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, just ruining what little bump there is. This spot is already inconsistent, and this run is proving it.
Saturday, August 29th, starts with a 0.7ft easterly swell and onshore wind – just poor. Sunday the 30th is a bit bigger at 2ft, but it’s choppy from a cross-onshore breeze. This flat, weak pattern just drags on. Even the glassy mornings on Sunday, September 6th and Monday, September 7th only have 0.3ft of swell – you could get more push from a kiddie pool.
We finally see a little glimmer on the morning of Wednesday, September 8th. A 0.3ft easterly groundswell with a 14-second period rolls in. The wind is a light cross-offshore, keeping it clean. But the size is just too small to ride. It’s a tease.
The "best" of the bunch, if you can call it that, is on Sunday, September 13th. We get a 1.0ft easterly swell with a 9-second period, pushing a combined energy of 21 (still weak). The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’s not too messy. But for a spot that’s already inconsistent, this is a long way from a winner. The water temp is about average for the time of year, but that doesn’t help when you’re looking at a flat ocean.
So, the long and short of it: there’s nothing to get excited about. It’s a blank run for this area, and that’s just how it goes sometimes. Keep the board in the car, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
