The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here, and I gotta call it like I see it. The next 16 days are a write-off for this stretch of coast. There isn’t one single day I’d paddle out for. It’s a flat patch, plain and simple.
We’re stuck looking at Dania South Beach (a beach and reef setup) for the whole forecast. The first week is dead. The combined energy of all swells directed here barely hits the 30s on the first afternoon and then just tanks. We’re talking about a weak, pathetic pulse of energy. Swell heights are tiny, topping out at about 3ft at the very best, but with short periods—mostly between 4 and 10 seconds. That’s just wind slop, not real swell.
Starting Wednesday, September 2nd, it’s overcast with a cross-onshore breeze from the southeast at 9 mph. The water’s warm at 87°, running a bit above normal for this time of year, so it’s like bathwater. But with 1ft of east swell and poor conditions, you’re better off on the beach.
It’s the same story through the weekend and into next week. Thursday and Friday are more cross-onshore wind, tiny waves, and poor conditions across the board. Saturday and Sunday offer a little glimmer with lighter winds, and Monday morning, September 7th, actually goes glassy for a few hours. But even then, the swell is only 0.7ft. A glassy puddle isn’t a wave.
Into the second week, starting September 8th, the swell tries to push up a little. By Wednesday, September 9th, the combined energy hits the 70s and 90s, with 2ft to 2ft of swell, but the wind is onshore from the east and east-southeast, chopping it all up. The period stretches to 10 seconds on the 9th, which is a hint of something better, but with the wind on it, it’s a bumpy, closed-out mess. The rest of that week and into the following is more of the same: small, weak, and blown out. The last few days, around September 16th and 17th, see the swell holding around 3ft to 3ft, but with short periods (4–5 seconds) and moderate onshore or cross-onshore winds, it’s still not worth it.
Honestly, this whole 16-day look is better suited for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. The wind is consistent, but the waves are just too small and gutless for a decent surf. Stick to the pool or wait for the next forecast run. Things will change eventually. They always do.
Rusty.
