The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. This is Rusty, and we’re talking about Dania South Beach (Florida). Truth is, the next couple weeks look pretty bleak for any real surf. There’s a big gap right from the start with nothing worth mentioning.
The first decent shot doesn’t show up until Saturday, September 5th. Before that, from August 28th through the first days of September, we’ve got nothing but knee-high slop under 2 feet – mostly onshore or cross-onshore wind, and the wave energy is real weak, barely cracking double digits. Water temperatures are about 87°F, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
Come Saturday, September 5th morning, we finally get a pulse: 4 feet from the ENE with an 8-second period. The combined energy hits 143 – that’s moderate. Wind is onshore from the ENE at 9 mph, so it won't be pretty, but it’s the only day with real size. That’s your standout. Swell direction matches the spot well.
After that, it drops back quick. Second week is mostly under 3 feet, with onshore winds sticking around. There’s a brief window on Saturday, September 12th morning with glassy conditions and a 3-foot swell, but the energy is weak (78). It’s clean but small.
Bottom line: if you’re going to paddle out, make it Saturday, September 5th morning. The rest is either flat or choppy. Not a classic run.
