The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it's looking pretty flat and quiet for a long stretch. The first real chance of anything worth paddling out for won't show up until Sunday the 6th of September, and even then it's not much to write home about. We've got a solid block of days from now until then with nothing but tiny, weak dribble and onshore chop, so if you're hanging for a wave, you'll be waiting more than a week.
Flagler Avenue is the only spot we've got to look at. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is pretty much average for this time of year.
Alright, the first glimpse of hope. On Sunday the 6th of September, the morning looks like your best bet. The wind is going to be dead calm, glassy as a mirror. We're looking at a tiny 3 feet swell from the ESE, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it's not going to have much punch. The combined energy is weak at 55. It's surfable, but just barely. The conditions are ordinary, but at least it's clean.
Then, later on, Friday the 11th of September morning gives us another glassy window. Again, wind is calm, with a 2 feet swell from the ENE, this time with a longer 11-second period which is a bit better. Energy is moderate at 155. It's still not a stand-out day by any means, but if you're desperate, that very clean, glassy surface will make the most of it.
So, the standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Friday the 11th of September. The wave height is small, but the longer period and the dead calm wind mean it'll be the cleanest and most fun you'll get. The other morning on the 6th is also worth a look for the same glassy reason, but the swell is a bit weaker.
Overall, it's a quiet outlook. The setup is mostly for beach breaks and with these small swells and typical onshore winds, a lot of this period might actually look better for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. Keep your eye on the forecasts, things can change.
Rusty.
