The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple weeks.

To be straight with you, it’s a pretty flat and quiet run for the foreseeable future. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing much, with barely a ripple for the first ten days or so. From Thursday 27 August right through until about Monday 7 September, the surf is mostly poor to non-existent, with tiny waves, messy wind, and a whole lot of nothing to get excited about.

The swell energy is weak, sitting in the single digits to low twenties (9 to 42), and the wave heights barely scrape 1.0ft to 2ft, with short, weak periods. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things bumpy and uninviting. There’s a little pocket of clean conditions on Saturday 5 September morning with glassy conditions, but the swell is only 0.7ft from the east, so it’s basically a flat spell.

The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.

Then, around Sunday 6 September into Monday 7 September, we finally see a bit of life. The swell picks up a little, with heights around 2ft from the north-northeast, and the period stretches to 10-11 seconds, giving it some shape. The combined energy jumps to 103 on Sunday afternoon, which is moderate. The wind goes cross-offshore, and by Monday afternoon the wind goes glassy. That’s your best window, but it’s still small and only really for the keen.

The standout break to keep an eye on is Dania South Beach. It’s a beach and reef setup, inconsistent, and fairly exposed to the east. When the swell finally shows up on Sunday 6 September afternoon, you’ve got 2ft from the north-northeast, with a 11-second period, and clean conditions thanks to a light cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is moderate (103). Monday 7 September afternoon is also glassy, with 2ft from the north-northeast, and that’s about as good as it gets. Crowds are possible, but with such small waves, it might be quiet.

After that, the surf drops away again. Early in the second week, there’s a bit of a bump on Wednesday 9 September morning with 4ft from the east, but the period is short (5 seconds) and the wind is cross-offshore, so it’s lumpy and weak. By Thursday 10 September morning, you get glassy conditions again with 4ft from the east-northeast, but the period is still short, so it’s soft and fat.

Overall, there’s no proper swell on the horizon. The best you’ll get is a couple of days of small, cleanish waves around 6-7 September. It’s a waiting game.
