The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with ya – it’s gonna be a tough stretch for anyone looking for a proper wave around here. We’ve got a long, quiet run ahead. The first solid chance of anything even worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until Saturday the 26th of September. That’s a solid ten days of flat, messy, or just plain poor conditions before we see any real glimmer of hope. It’s a big gap, so don’t hold your breath for the next week and a half.
Let’s break it down. Starting now, we’re looking at tiny, weak swells, mostly from the east or northeast, with onshore and cross-onshore winds messing up any chance of clean surf. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 87°, but you won’t care about that when you’re bobbing around on nothing. The combined energy is mostly two-digit numbers, way under 100, which tells you how limp it all is.
We get a little bump in size around the 16th and 17th, with some chest-high swell showing up, but the period is short and the wind is on it. Not worth the drive.
The first real standout, and honestly the only one worth circling on the calendar, is the morning of Saturday the 26th of September at Dania South Beach (beach and reef). We’re looking at a clean 4ft swell from the north-northeast with a 9-second period. Combined energy hits 201, which is finally a moderate reading. The wind goes glassy – that’s a major positive, right? Means the surface will be smooth. The swell direction matches up nicely with the optimum easterly direction the spot likes. It’s not huge, but for this stretch of quiet, it’s the best we’ve got. Keep in mind, though, this spot is inconsistent, so don’t expect perfection. Crowds are possible, so get there early if you’re keen.
The Sunday morning the 27th and Monday morning the 28th also have glassy conditions and similar sized swell, around 3ft to 3ft, also from the north-northeast. They’re decent backups if you miss Saturday, but Saturday is the pick.
After that, it fades back into the same old onshore slop. Not a lot to write home about.
So, bottom line: the next ten days are mostly a write-off. Keep your board in the car for the morning of Saturday the 26th. That’s your window.
Rusty.
