The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it’s looking like a bit of a flat spell for the foreseeable future. We’ve got a real gap here with no surf worth chasing. The whole 16-day window is a struggle. I can see a few tiny pulses way out there, but nothing that’s going to get the heart rate up. The first time we see any real energy is on Saturday the 5th of September, but don’t get your hopes up.
We’re looking at Dania South Beach, a beach and reef setup that’s inconsistent and mostly for the beginners. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 87°F, but that’s about the only thing that’s pumping.
The first sign of life is Saturday afternoon, September 5th. We’ve got a weak little 2ft swell from the SE, but the period is a miserable 4 seconds. That’s just wind chop, mate. The combined energy is a measly 8 – barely a ripple. On top of that, there’s a risk of thunderstorms and a light cross breeze from the South at 6 mph. The call is poor surf conditions, and I’m not going to argue with that.
Sunday the 6th is even worse. The swell drops to 0.3ft in the morning. Glassy as a lake from the WSW, but there’s nothing to ride. The afternoon brings a bit of a bump from the E, but it’s cross-on and messy. Monday the 7th sees a tiny 0.7ft from the E with a clean offshore wind in the morning, but it’s just too small. No energy at all.
We go through day after day of tiny, weak swells. Tuesday the 8th is glassy in the morning but still 0.7ft. Wednesday the 9th shows a bit of a pulse, with the swell hitting 2ft from the NNE in the afternoon and the combined energy climbing to 84 – still weak, but it’s the biggest number we’ll see. The problem is it’s a straight onshore wind from the E at 9 mph. Low quality, poor surf.
The rest of the first week and into the second is more of the same. Thursday the 10th, Friday the 11th, Saturday the 12th – all tiny, all onshore or cross-on, all poor. The swell stays below 3ft for the entire run. The wind is a constant issue, mostly from the E or SE, and it’s either onshore or cross-on. There’s a brief look on the 20th of September, a Sunday, with a 2ft NNE swell and a period of 10 seconds – that’s the longest period we’ll see. The combined energy hits 76, which is at least a bit more than a ripple. But again, onshore wind from the ENE at 12 mph will have it chopped up.
There are no standouts here. The best on offer – and I’m stretching the word “best” – is probably the 2ft on Wednesday the 9th, but it’s a close-out mess. The 2ft on Sunday the 20th has a slightly better period, but the wind is just as bad. For a beginner wanting to get wet on a foamie, maybe, but for anyone looking for a proper wave, this is a stay-home-and-wax-your-board kind of fortnight.
Rusty, signing off.
