The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the next 16 days at Dania South Beach are looking pretty flat. We've got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and onshore winds that are gonna keep things messy. You're gonna want to leave the board at home for a while.
From Monday the 7th through to Tuesday the 22nd of September, it's a real struggle. The swell is tiny, mostly around 0.7 ft to 2 ft, and coming from the east and northeast. The energy is weak, with combined swell energy values sitting mostly between 9 and 81, which is barely a ripple. The period is short, around 4 to 8 seconds, so there's no push or power behind it.
The first few days are a write-off. Monday the 7th has a light cross-offshore wind in the morning, but the swell is only 0.7 ft - it's not worth paddling out for. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 87°, but that's the only highlight.
We get a tiny bump on Wednesday the 9th with a 2 ft to 2 ft swell, but it's coming straight onshore and the period is still only 8 seconds. The surf is poor. Thursday the 10th is similar, with a slight cross-onshore wind and 2 ft of weak, short-period swell. The energy is still low, only reaching 81 on the morning.
The pattern doesn't improve. From Friday the 11th through to the end of the forecast, we're looking at the same story: tiny swell, onshore or cross-onshore winds, and poor conditions. There are a couple of glassy mornings on the 18th and 20th, but with a swell of only 1 ft to 2 ft and a period of 7 seconds, you'll be bobbing around waiting for a knee-high bump that never really stands up.
Standout Alert: Honestly, there isn't one. The best you could hope for is a paddle on the morning of Wednesday the 9th if you're a beginner, but even then, the 2 ft swell is weak and onshore. It's a beach and reef break that's inconsistent, and it's not delivering this time.
Bottom line: This is a blank run. Dania South Beach is a fairly exposed spot, but the swell window is just not cooperating. The forecasts can change, but for now, it's a solid two-week gap of no real surf. I'd be looking at a kite if the wind picks up, because the paddle surfing is a no-go.
Rusty.
