The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be real with you about this stretch of coast. The outlook is a tough one for surfers. The first recommendation doesn’t kick in until Thursday the 3rd of September, and honestly, the whole 16-day window is a lean run. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and messy wind.
Thursday 3rd September kicks things off with a meagre 1ft easterly swell at Dania South Beach, but it’s a cross-shore breeze and the energy is almost non-existent (29). The water’s sitting at 87°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year. Nothing to get excited about.
Through the rest of the first week, the swell stays stubbornly small, never topping 2ft. The wind is mostly cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and uninviting. There’s a brief moment of calm on Monday 7th September morning, with glassy conditions on a 0.7ft, 8-second swell, but it’s just too small to surf. The energy readings are all in the weak two-digit range, barely cracking 100.
The second week looks a little more promising, but not by much. From Wednesday 9th September, the swell nudges up to 2-2ft from the NNE, with a touch more energy (94 to 113). That’s moderate wave energy, but it’s an onshore wind, so the shape will be sloppy. The best chance might be Thursday 10th September morning, with a 2ft NE swell at 10 seconds, and a light onshore breeze. The energy is 100, so there’s a bit of push, but it’s still not a standout.
Nothing in this entire outlook truly stands out as a "go" session. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the breaks are inconsistent. If you’re a beginner, the tiny 1ft days might be okay for a paddle, but the conditions are poor. For everyone else, it’s a waiting game. The lack of consistent, quality surf is normal for this area at this time, so don’t lose hope – forecasts can change.
Rusty.
