The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the rundown in feet and miles per hour.
I gotta level with you, the surf has been a no-show. The first week is a total loss – nothing but tiny, weak waves and cross-onshore wind messing up the water. From Monday the 25th of August through the end of the month, the swell is barely a ripple. The wave energy is just flickering in the low teens and thirties (max 34), and that's not gonna get you out of bed.
At Dania South Beach (it's a beach and reef setup), the water is about 87°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
We finally get a little pulse heading into September. On the mornings of the 1st and 2nd, a super long-period groundswell rolls in – period of 15 seconds – but the height is still only about 0.7 to 1ft. The energy climbs a bit (53), but there's just not enough water moving to get a proper wave here at this break.
The first real highlight is Friday, September 5th in the morning. The swell is 1ft from the NE with a 13-second period, and we get offshore wind from the west at about 6 mph. That makes for clean conditions, and the energy is moderate (90). It's small, but it’s rideable and clean – the best of a quiet spell.
But the true standout is Monday, September 8th in the morning. We're looking at a 3ft NNE swell, period of 8 seconds, with glassy wind. That’s the biggest wave we’re gonna see in the whole outlook. The energy is moderate (71). It’s short-period, so it'll be a bit soft, but glassy and 3ft is a solid improvement. The afternoon also holds a little offshore wind.
After that, it drops back to 1ft and low energy. So mark your calendar for the 8th September if you want the best chance at something decent. The rest of the 16 days is pretty lean.
Rusty.
