The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s be honest: the next 16 days are a real bummer for surf. The waves are tiny, the wind is mostly junk, and there’s just not enough energy to get excited about.
The only spot worth mentioning is Dania South Beach. It’s a beach and reef break, good for beginners, but it’s inconsistent and rarely breaks. The water is about 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing wild, but you’ll notice it.
Monday morning (September 7th) is the best bet. The swell is a meager 0.7ft from the east, but the wind is light from the southwest at 3 mph, creating a cross-off breeze. That’ll keep it glassy and clean enough to ride the tiny waves. The combined energy is weak (9), so don’t expect much push. Still, if you’re itching to get wet, this is the cleanest window.
From Monday afternoon onward, it’s a long dry spell. The swell gets a little bigger mid-week – up to 3ft on Wednesday 9th from the north-northeast, with combined energy hitting 92 – but the wind turns cross-on or onshore, making it choppy and messy. The period is short (8-9 seconds), so there’s no real power behind it. By Thursday 10th, it’s back to tiny, messy surf.
The second week from September 14th is even worse. Swell drops to 0.7ft to 2ft, mostly from the east or southeast, with periods as low as 4 seconds. That’s just wind chop. The wind stays onshore at 9-16 mph, and combined energy rarely climbs above 30. It’s not surfable.
There’s only one standout here: Monday morning. If you’ve got a longboard and zero expectations, you might find a little ankle-biter. Otherwise, save your energy.
Rusty.
