Dazendorf Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get this out there. The next 16 days are looking pretty average for your surf options. There’s a big gap from the start of the forecast period where there’s nothing worth paddling out for, and until the very end, we’re seeing mostly small, short-period, wind-affected swell. The one spot we’ve got to look at is Dazendorf, and it’s a beginner-friendly, inconsistent zone that’s exposed to the open ocean. The water temperature sits at about 64°F, which is roughly normal for this time of year, so no surprise there.

The first real opportunity shows up on the 15th of September Tuesday afternoon. That’s the most promising window in the whole run. We’ve got a clean southwest swell rolling in at 4ft from the WSW direction, with a gentle offshore breeze from the SSE at 9 mph. The period is short at 5 seconds, so don’t expect groundswell power, but the wind is offshore and clean, making it surfable. The combined energy is moderate (54), so it’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s the only session where the conditions come together. It’s a gentle offshore and clean situation, which is the best you’ll see here. Because it’s inconsistent, you might have to wait for sets, but the light wind will make it look okay.

The 16th of September Wednesday morning shows a bit more size at 5ft from the NW, with a period of 5 seconds and combined energy of moderate (119). The wind is light cross-on at 3 mph, which is a small positive, but it’s still not a standout due to the short period and lumpy conditions. The afternoon improves slightly with a similar swell and light cross-shore wind, but the quality is still poor.

The 15th of September Tuesday afternoon is the only true standout here. The rest of the period is marked by small, weak swells, strong onshore winds, and messy conditions. The first week is a write-off, with no surfable waves until that Tuesday session. The second week has a few more windows, but they’re all small and low-energy, like the 18th of September Friday morning with a clean cross-off wind but only 2ft of swell. The 19th and 20th of September bring clean offshore winds but absolutely no swell at all, so it’s just a glassy lake.

For a beginner-friendly spot, Dazendorf doesn’t get much going. The only real call is Tuesday afternoon on the 15th. It’s not a big session, but it’s the best you’ll get. If you’re chasing something bigger, you’re out of luck. The 5ft mark is never hit, so it’s all manageable for most, but the inconsistency and short period mean you’ll work for your waves.
