The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and I gotta call it like I see it – it’s dead flat for a long stretch. We’re talking a blank run from now right through the start of the month. The first even half-decent bump doesn’t roll in until Wednesday September 9th.
For the first week, right through to September 8th, it’s all tiny, weak, and blown out. Swell heights are mostly bouncing between 0.3 ft and 1 ft, with energy readings so low they’re basically a whisper – way under 100. The wind is all cross or onshore, making a mess of things. Water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 87°F. Don’t even bother.
Wednesday morning, September 9th is the only day worth mentioning. Over at Dunes Hotel (Miami), we see a 2 ft swell from the NNE, rolling in with a 10-second period. The combined energy hits 74 (moderate wave energy), which is the most we see in this whole outlook. The wind is onshore from the east at around 9 mph, but it’s light – it won’t be glassy, but it’ll be rideable. This is the best it gets, and that’s saying something.
After that, it all falls apart again. A few tiny pulses on the 13th and 14th, but with a short, horrible 4-second period and strong cross-onshore winds. That’s kite-surfing weather, not paddle-surfing weather. This is a tough stretch for the area. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a solid skip.
