The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking bleak for a proper surf. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak, and mostly onshore waves, and it’s not until around the 17th that we finally see a tiny window of something semi-ridable. It’s a tough run, so if you’re keen, you’ll be working for it.
The first stretch is a write-off. From the 5th through the 16th, the swell is just not there. We’re talking ankle-biters, mostly under 3 feet, with a lot of short-period wind chop. The energy is weak, mostly bouncing between 9 and 75 on the combined scale. There’s nothing for a surfer to get excited about. You’d be better off finding a different hobby for that first week and a half or so.
Now, looking at the 17th, there’s a little change. The early morning sees a brief moment of glassy conditions with a light SSW breeze. That’s the one standout. The swell is still tiny though, around 2ft from the southeast with a period of 4 seconds. It’s not going to be epic, but at least it won’t be messy. That clean, glassy surface will be the best thing it has going for it. This is your only real chance to get a few grovelly lefts and rights on a longboard. But remember, the swell is weak and short-period, so it’s all about the clean surface, not the power.
After that, we’re back into the mush. From the 18th onwards, it’s more of the same with light to moderate onshore breezes and wave heights dropping back down to that 1 to 3 foot range.
So, for the full 16-day outlook, there’s really only one spot, Dania South Beach, and only one morning worth saddling up for. The 17th morning is the pick, and that’s only because the wind goes glassy. Don’t expect much else.
You’ve been warned. Keep the boards waxed, but maybe don’t rush out the door for the next week and a half.
