The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you — this is one of those outlooks where you might want to hang the board up for a bit, or at least keep your expectations real low. The whole 16-day window is a struggle, and I’m not seeing any hidden gems.
We’re looking at Dania South Beach (Florida) for the whole run. The water temp is sitting at 87°F, which is about 2°F warmer than usual for this time of year — so it’s a little toastier than normal, but nothing too crazy.
Right from the start, Friday September 4th, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the ESE, with a period of just 4 seconds. That’s pure windswell, weak and messy. Combined energy is only 26 — that’s weak, no punch. The wind is cross-onshore from the SE at 9 mph, so it’s choppy and crumbly. Not worth paddling out for.
Saturday September 5th is even smaller — 2ft, same short period, and cross-onshore winds again. The energy drops to 9. It’s a write-off.
Sunday the 6th? Forget it. 0.7ft on the morning, with a light cross-onshore breeze. That’s barely a ripple.
Monday the 7th morning shows a brief moment of cleaner conditions with a light cross-offshore wind from the SSW at 6 mph, but with only 0.7ft of swell and an 8-second period, there’s nothing to ride. The energy is just 8. It’s flat, even if it looks pretty.
From there, we go into a long, bleak stretch. Tuesday the 8th through to Saturday the 12th — all tiny surf, mostly under 2ft, with onshore or cross-onshore winds, and periods that are all under 9 seconds. The combined energy barely cracks double digits. There’s a moment on Saturday the 12th morning where the wind goes offshore from the west at 3 mph, but the swell is only 0.7ft. It’s clean, but flat.
We get a slight pulse mid-week around September 14th and 15th, with swell heights hitting 2ft and energy climbing to 66 and 76. But the periods are still short (8 seconds), and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, often fresh. The waves will be lumpy and uninviting. Not a standout by any stretch.
The rest of the second week — September 16th through the 19th — stays small and weak. The biggest day is Saturday September 19th morning with 3ft from the SE, but period is only 4 seconds, and the wind is cross-onshore from the NE at 9 mph. Combined energy is just 34. That’s a weak, fat dribble.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. No day where the swell, wind, and tide line up. The beach-and-reef setup at Dania South Beach is inconsistent at the best of times, and this stretch is a dry spell. If you’re desperate, you might find a knee-high lump on the 19th, but it’s not going to be any good.
Hang in there. Forecasts can change.
