The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's going on in your local waters. Honestly, it's a grim outlook. For the next two weeks and beyond, we're looking at a real flat spell.
The forecast kicks off on Thursday the 27th of August with Dania South Beach showing a tiny 0.33ft swell from the NE, but it's got a cross-onshore wind making it choppy and ugly. That's the theme all the way through into early September. We're talking days and days of ankle-snappers with onshore or cross-onshore winds. The energy in the water is weak – usually between 8 and 49 for that combined swell energy reading – hardly enough to get a longboard planning.
There is one brief, interesting moment on Thursday the 3rd of September. The morning shows a glassy surface with a light north-westerly wind and a tiny 2.6ft swell from the ESE. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal, sitting at 87.1°F. But with a 4-second period, it's just windswell and it's only a flash in the pan. After that, it's back to small, messy, onshore slop.
There is a long stretch from the start of the forecast right through to the end where we get no real quality. The best of the entire forecast is a mild glimmer on the morning of Thursday the 3rd, because of that glassy wind. Even then, with such small weak swell, calling it a highlight is a stretch. For an absolute standout? There is none. Leave the boards at home for this one.
