The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about what’s happening at Fort Lauderdale 14th Street.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead. The whole 16-day window is looking flat and pretty lifeless. We’ve got a solid gap of no real surf from the start, right through to the very end. The wave energy is barely registering, with the combined swell energy numbers stuck in the weak range, often well below 100 (best we see is a meager 51). The water temp is sitting at 87°F, which is about average for this time of year, with a slight positive anomaly of 2°F—nothing to write home about.
The first whisper of anything is on the morning of September 11th. We get a tiny 2 ft SE swell with a super short period of 4 seconds. The wind is glassy, which is a major positive for clean conditions, but that swell is just too small and weak to do anything with. The energy is only 21, so you’re basically looking at lake conditions. For a beginner spot that’s already sheltered and inconsistent, this is a washout.
Then on the morning of September 12th, we get another glassy morning with a 1 ft NE swell and a 7-second period. The energy is a bit higher at 28, but still weak. Again, flat and clean but not surfable.
The only other flicker of life is way out on the morning of September 16th. We get another glassy start with a 2 ft E swell, but the period is a pitiful 4 seconds. The energy is 16. It’s a calm, glassy morning, but the swell has no power.
That’s it. Nothing else in the entire 16 days gets above a 2 ft height, and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy when there is the tiniest bump. The forecast confidence is high for the near term, and it’s just a flat spell. For a break that’s already inconsistent, this blank run is pretty normal for the area. There’s no standout here, no “best on offer.” Leave the board at home, or if you’re desperate, bring a kite—the setup looks more interesting for that than paddle surfing.
Rusty.
