The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real here. Usually, Fort Lauderdale 14th Street (United States) can be a bit of a gamble, and this stretch is no exception. The water temp is sitting at 87°—about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s a little on the toasty side, but nothing too wild.
Right now, we’re looking at a pretty flat spell. The first recommendation doesn’t even pop up until Monday, the 7th of September. So from now through that whole first week of September, it’s a long dry gap with no real surf to chase. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, swell is tiny, and the energy is weak—just a measly 15 to 74 on the combined energy scale. Honestly, it’s more of a swim session than a surf one.
Come Monday, September 7th morning, we finally get a little pulse. It’s a clean window with a light offshore WNW wind at 6 mph, and the swell bumps up to 3 ft from the NE. The period is 9 seconds—so it’s a short-period, weak groundswell, but at least the wind is right. The combined energy hits 108 (moderate), so there’s a bit of push. It’s not big, but the conditions are clean, making it a decent option for beginners or anyone wanting to get wet without a fight. Tuesday morning, September 8th, is similar: 3 ft NE swell, light cross-off wind from the SW at 6 mph, and energy at 106. Again, clean and surfable, but nothing to write home about.
The standout here is that Monday the 7th morning. It’s the best of the bunch—clean, offshore, and the swell is just enough to make it fun. The wind is light and offshore, so expect clean, peelable little waves. It’s inconsistent though, so don’t expect a set every minute. Crowds are sometimes an issue, but with the small size, it shouldn’t be too bad.
After that, the pattern fades back into small, choppy junk. Wednesday the 9th sees a little more energy (128) but the wind turns cross-on and the swell drops to 2 ft. Not great. By the 10th we’re back to tiny, weak surf.
Overall, if you’re keen, aim for the 7th and 8th mornings. Otherwise, it’s a quiet stretch. Conditions can change, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
