The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you: it’s a tough run ahead for Dania South Beach. We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch with hardly anything worth paddling out for.
Right now, the water’s sitting at a warm 87°, which is about average for this time of year. Not much to get excited about there.
We kick off Thursday the 30th with tiny, weak swell. Thursday morning we’ve got a pathetic 0.3ft from the northeast, with a period of 9 seconds and the combined energy is a meager 5. The wind is a cross-offshore breeze from the southwest at 9 mph, so it’s clean, but there’s just nothing to ride. That afternoon the swell switches to the south at 2ft but the period drops to a horrible 4 seconds – that’s just wind chop. Energy stays at only 14. Still no good.
Friday the 31st is more of the same. Morning brings 0.3ft from the east at 10 seconds – energy a tiny 3. It’s clean but flat. Afternoon sees 2ft from the south-southeast at 3 seconds (energy 12) with a cross-shore breeze. Just messy little windswell.
Saturday the 1st of August through the whole first week is basically a write-off. Swells stay under 3ft all week, periods are short, and winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore. The highest combined energy we see is 47 on Saturday the 8th of August morning, with a 1ft northeast swell at 10 seconds, but it’s cross-onshore and clean-looking. Still, 1ft is barely a ripple.
From here on into the second week, from the 9th of August through the 14th of August, it’s the same sad story. Swells peak at 2ft, periods are short, and winds stay onshore or cross-onshore. The energy never breaks out of the weak range, with the highest being 33 on the afternoon of the 8th. The setup is so poor and winds so persistent from the east and southeast that this beach-and-reef spot is honestly looking more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
Keep the board in the car, but don’t hold your breath. This is a long gap of bad conditions. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing on offer.
Rusty.
