Dazendorf Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good hard look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – this is a quiet stretch. The forecast shows no good surf windows that are worth paddling out for, so I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. We’ve got a lot of days with nothing happening.

We’re looking at Dazendorf, and for the first real sniff of anything, you’d be waiting until Sunday the 13th of September. But even then, it’s not worth getting wet. The swell is tiny – 2ft from the WSW with a short, weak period of just 4 seconds. The wind is a messy cross-shore at 16 mph. The combined energy is a paltry 11, and the report flat-out says it’s poor. That theme holds all the way through Sunday the 20th. We see little bumps of swell here and there – 3ft on Monday, 3ft again on Thursday the 17th – but the wind is always on it, or it’s cross-onshore, and the periods are all short. You’re looking at choppy, lumpy, bad surf.

There’s a notable gap of flat, clean days from Tuesday the 15th through Wednesday the 16th, with zero swell. Then again, after a poor Saturday the 19th with a strong breeze, we get another stretch of clean but totally flat days starting Saturday the 26th and going through to Monday the 28th.

The only time we see a slight pulse of something is around Wednesday the 23rd of September. The swell comes up to 3ft from the NW, with a period of just 5 seconds and a combined energy of 51. The wind is onshore and moderate. It’s still poor surf. It won’t be clean, and the period is too short to hold any shape.

Honestly, this whole set-up is more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers, especially with that strong wind and poor wave quality.

So, the bottom line? There are zero standout days here. No recommended sessions. For this area, a blank run like this can be pretty normal. It tends not to stay poor forever, but these 16 days are a wash.

Stay patient,
Rusty.
