The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s keep it real. We’ve got one spot in the frame, and it’s a tough run ahead. The next 16 days are looking pretty flat and pretty grim, so don’t get your hopes up. There’s a long, dry stretch with no real surf on offer, and the only flicker of life doesn’t come until early September.
Right now, from Monday the 24th of August right through to the end of the month, we’re staring at a whole lot of nothing. Tiny, weak swell – we’re talking 0.3ft to 2ft – with junky short-period windswell and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. The water’s sitting at 87°F which is about 2°F warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s a nice bath, but that’s about all you’re getting. Keep the board in the car, it’s not worth paddling out.
We finally see a tiny shift on Thursday the 3rd of September. The combined swell energy creeps up to a modest 104 (moderate), and for a brief moment on Thursday morning, the wind goes glassy at Dania South Beach (Florida). That’s a rare treat. The swell is still tiny – only 1ft from the east – but with a period of 12 seconds, it’s got a bit of groundswell character. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. The break is a beach and reef setup, and it’s inconsistent, so you’ll be scratching for waves. Still, if you’re desperate, that Thursday morning window is your best bet. The offshore wind on Thursday afternoon is fresh and clean, but the swell stays small.
Friday the 4th holds a similar story: 1ft east swell, clean light offshore winds in the morning, and a light cross-offshore in the afternoon. It’s small, it’s weak, but it’s the best we’re going to get. After that, it drops right back into the doldrums for the rest of the window. Honestly, if you’re not a beginner, this run is a write-off. For the kite crew, the onshore days might be more interesting than paddle surfing.
Rusty, signing off.
