The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be real with you right off the bat: this 16-day window for Dania South Beach is a tough one. I'm looking at the charts, and honestly, there isn't a single standout session in the whole run. The wave energy just isn't showing up, and when it does, the winds are in the way. We're looking at a long, flat spell, I'm afraid.
The water temp is sitting at 87°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s a bit above average but not crazy.
Right now, into Wednesday the 2nd, we've got a tiny 1ft easterly swell with a short period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is only 39, which is weak. There's a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-offshore wind from the SSW at 3 mph, so it's clean but just too small. By the afternoon, it drops to 1.0ft and the wind swings onshore from the SE at 9 mph – choppy and useless.
Thursday the 3rd is more of the same. A 1.0ft easterly swell, period drops to 9 seconds, energy is down to 20. Morning is a light cross-shore at 6 mph, but the afternoon gets choppy again with a 12 mph cross-onshore.
Friday the 4th through the weekend is just painful to watch. Swell stays between 0.7ft and 2ft, but the periods are terrible – down to 4 or 5 seconds on Saturday. That’s pure wind chop. The combined energy plummets to single digits (9 on Saturday morning). We’re looking at onshore winds and thunderstorms every afternoon. Not worth paddling out.
We go through a whole week of this. Monday the 7th, Tuesday the 8th... it’s all onshore wind and swell that barely registers. The energy stays under 15 most days. The wave comment in the data just keeps saying "poor surf conditions" – and that’s the truth.
There's a little blip on Wednesday the 9th. The swell bumps up to 2ft from the NNE, with a period of 10 seconds. Energy finally cracks 100 (103 in the afternoon). But the wind is straight onshore from the east at 9-12 mph. That’s going to be a messy, blown-out closeout. For a beach and reef setup, with the wind directly on it, this might be more interesting for the kite boarders than for us paddle surfers.
From there, it fades again. The rest of the second week into the 17th is all small, onshore slop. Swell rarely gets above 2ft, and the period is short. Ratings are all zeros. There's no hope on the horizon here.
Look, this spot is rated as "inconsistent," and this forecast is a perfect example of why. We just have to be patient. Sometimes it stays poor for a while, but it never lasts forever. Keep an eye on the forecast, but for the next 16 days, I’d find another hobby.
Rusty.
