The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here, and I’m gonna be dead honest: this forecast is a long wait for very little. The only break we’ve got to talk about is Dania South Beach, and for the first nine days – from Thursday the 10th through Monday the 21st of September – the surf is just flat out poor. Tiny, weak, short-period junk with onshore and cross-onshore winds from the east and southeast. We’re talking knee-high slop with combined energy that never breaks 43. It’s a total write-off. Don’t bother.
Then the morning of the 22nd of September gets ugly in a different way. A gale from the southeast at 40 mph, shifting to a severe gale at 53 mph by afternoon with moderate rain. Completely blown out. That’s kite territory, not a surfboard.
But hold on. Starting Wednesday the 23rd of September, the wind finally swings southwest – cross-offshore – and the ocean wakes up. Swell hits 4ft from the northeast with a short 7-second period. Combined energy climbs to 143, which is moderate energy (143). The water temp is about average for this time of year. The wind is clean, so the faces will be smooth even if the waves are a bit dumpy. This is the first real chance for a wave.
Thursday the 24th of September keeps it going. Swell holds around 4ft from the north-northeast, 8-second period, still under cross-offshore southwesterly winds. Energy jumps to 205 – solid moderate (205). It’ll have some push but the short period means it’ll be quick and crumbly. Not the prettiest, but you can work with it.
Then Friday the 25th of September is the standout. Swell from the north-northeast at 4ft with a 9-second period, cross-offshore winds from the southwest at 16 mph. Combined energy hits 295 – the biggest number of the whole forecast, and that’s moderate energy (295). Clean wind, solid height, longer period. This is the day to mark. It’s a beach-and-reef setup so the longer-period swell might break a bit straight, but with these clean winds, it’s your best shot.
First week and a half is a bust. The back half finally shows life, with Friday the 25th as the clear highlight. Be patient.
Rusty.
