The Lowdown
Alright, let me break down the next 16 days for Dania South Beach. First up, you can forget about any decent waves for at least the first week and a half. From Friday the 28th of August right through to Monday the 7th of September, it’s a total write-off. We’re looking at tiny, weak scraps with onshore winds messing it all up. There’s a solid gap of nothing here, so don’t bother paddling out.
Now, finally, things start to shift around Tuesday the 8th of September. The wind goes glassy in the morning, and we get a tiny pulse of energy from the northeast. The swell is a measly 2.3 ft coming from the NE, but it’s got a decent 12-second period on it – that’s a proper groundswell. The combined energy is moderate at 145, so there’s some push, but the wave comment says it’s "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It’s a beach and reef setup here, and with that longer period, it might be a bit fat and straight on the beach, but it’s about the only game in town. The water temp is running about average for this time of year.
That glassy window repeats on Wednesday the 9th of September morning too, with another 2.3 ft NE swell. It’s still small, but clean. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th of September also offer glassy mornings with small NE groundswell around 2.0 ft, energy dropping off but still just enough for a longboard or a foamie.
Honestly, if you’re desperate, the pick of the entire window is the mornings on Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th of September. The swell size is tiny, so it’s fine for beginners, but the glassy wind is the real highlight – you won’t be fighting chop. Just don’t expect any power or size. This is a waiting game, buddy.
