The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: these next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and messy. We've got a long stretch ahead with next to nothing on the surf front, so don't be holding your breath for any hero waves. We're looking at a real waiting game.
First up, the water's sitting around that normal mark for this time of year, so the only thing you'll need to worry about is the wind, and it's not doing us any favors.
The next fortnight is basically a write-off. The swell stays small and weak, with the combined energy mostly sitting in that weak category, like 15 or 25 units. The period is short too, mostly around 4 seconds, so there's no push or power behind it at all. It's mostly onshore or cross-onshore breezes chopping up an already poor, tiny surf. This is that frustrating period where you rock up, see ankle-biters, and paddle out for the exercise if you're keen. From the 26th right through to the 5th of September, it's grim.
There's a slight change in the air as we head into the second week. Around the 6th and 7th of September, the swell direction swings around to the north-northeast and the period nudges up to 7-8 seconds. It's still small, but the energy picks up a little, getting into that moderate range, around 50-69 units. It's not gonna be good, but at least the ocean will have a bit more life in it. The wind is still messy though, so keep the expectations low.
Later in the week, around the 9th and 10th, the swell drops right back down again, and we're back to those weak 21-41 energy units with short-period, crumbly surf. This whole run is for the dedicated only.
Honestly, for the next 16 days, there isn't one standout session. The swell doesn't crack the 3ft mark, and the quality is just poor across the board. Dania South Beach is inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast isn't giving us any reason to get excited. The most notable thing is the shift around the 6th and 7th of September when some slightly better north-northeast swell rolls in, but it's still not going to be worth skipping work for.
Keep the board in the car just in case, but for now, it's more of a beach day than a surf day.
Rusty out.
