The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Deerfield Beach Pier has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough run. This stretch is looking pretty flat and messy for the vast majority of the forecast period. We’re talking about a solid week and a half of barely a ripple before things might finally get interesting. Hang in there.
Right off the bat, from Saturday the 12th to Monday the 21st of September, it’s grim. The swell is tiny, mostly around 0.7ft to 2ft, and the wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore, making it choppy and sloppy. The combined energy is weak, just a meagre 11 to 41 for most of that time. You’d be better off taking the kayak out or just cleaning your wax. There’s nothing to get excited about here at all.
After that long dry spell, we finally see a pulse of energy coming in around Tuesday the 22nd of September. That morning we get a jump to 6ft from the SSE, with a short period of 6 seconds, and some clean cross-offshore wind from the SW. The wave energy hits a moderate 314. It’s still a pretty raw and short-period swell, but it’s a start. The afternoon is where it gets really interesting for this entire outlook. By Tuesday afternoon, we see the swell climb to 7ft from the S, period still 8 seconds, but the wind turns cross-offshore again and the wave energy jumps to a strong 642. This is the standout window. It’s the best on offer, no question. Might be a bit much for beginners at that size, but for anyone with a bit of experience, this could be the only session worth paddling out for in the whole two weeks.
Wednesday the 23rd holds some size, with 8ft from the S in the morning, but the wind swings cross-shore and it gets lumpy. That’s more of an expert-only day, and the quality looks questionable. The afternoon sees that drop off. From Thursday the 24th onwards, we’re back into the small stuff. Some glassy conditions pop up on Saturday the 26th, but with swell only 2ft, it’s not going to get you wet.
So, the bottom line: there’s about two weeks of nothing, then a few days of hope. The one true highlight is Tuesday the 22nd of September afternoon. That southerly swell with clean wind is your shot. Don’t sleep on it.
