The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for the next 16 days is a total flat spell. We're looking at a string of tiny, weak swells that won't give you anything worth paddling out for. The whole period is basically a write-off, with only small, poor surf conditions day after day.
Looking at the first few days, Friday the 21st of August through Sunday the 23rd, you've got tiny swell around 0.7 ft to 1 ft, mostly coming out of the E to ESE, with periods as short as 4 seconds. That's just windswill. Wind is cross-onshore to onshore for most of it, chopping up what little movement there is. The combined energy is weak, reading between 5 and 16 – barely a ripple. Water temps are about average for this time of year, nothing special.
Monday the 24th through the end of August is more of the same. Swell heights barely nudge up – 2 ft, 2 ft, 2 ft – with periods still short. The combined energy creeps into double digits but stays well below 100, so still very weak. Winds are cross-onshore to onshore, keeping things messy. There's a couple of longer-period blips on the 27th and 28th (13 to 15 seconds), but with swell height at just 0.3 ft from the NE, it's not even enough to stand up on.
As we move into early September, the pattern holds. From the 31st of August morning through the 1st of September, we see the "biggest" push – 4 ft to 4 ft from the ESE to SE, periods around 5 seconds. The combined energy finally hits 66 and 93 on the 31st – that's still moderate at best. But the direction is onshore and the quality is still "poor." It's not enough to call a standout. From the 2nd of September onward, it drops right back to 0.7 ft with onshore wind and weak energy (values between 13 and 22).
For Dania South Beach (beach and reef), this setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing – stronger cross-onshore winds and minimal swell. The break is inconsistent, and with no real quality surf on the cards, don't bother rushing down. Keep an eye on the forecast – it tends not to stay this flat forever.
Rusty.
