The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's cut to the chase: the next 16 days are a total flat spell for Dania South Beach. This spot is inconsistent to begin with, and this forecast is a real heartbreaker. There's no standout, no hidden gem, nothing that's gonna get me stoked. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, which is the only thing that's not a letdown.

The whole period is a lull. Monday the 3rd starts with a tiny 0.7ft east swell, a 8-second period, and a pathetic combined energy of just (12). It's a light cross-shore wind, but with those dimensions, it's barely a ripple. Tuesday the 4th isn't any better with 1.0ft on offer. The wind swings onshore, but it doesn't matter; the waves are just too small.

Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th see a bit of a bump up to 2ft and 3ft, but the period is short at 4-5 seconds, the energy is weak (12-48), and the onshore winds are chopping it up. It's poor surf. Friday the 7th is the biggest we see in the whole run, with 5ft from the east, but it's a 5-second period with a fresh onshore breeze at 18 mph. The energy climbs to (115) but it's a messy, blown-out mess. This is not paddle surfing; this is a day for the kite crew if anything.

The following week, from Saturday the 8th right through to Tuesday the 18th, is a repeat of the same story. Swell heights bounce between 2ft and 4ft, periods are short (4-6 seconds), and the combined energy rarely breaks 70. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping the surf crumbly and uninviting. There's a moment on Monday morning the 17th with a light cross-shore breeze and 4ft, but the energy is still only (70) and the period is a weak 6 seconds. It's still poor.

Look, the honest truth is there's nothing to recommend here. Dania South Beach is inconsistent at the best of times, and this 16-day window is a blank run. It's one of those quiet spells that's more normal for the area than you'd hope. Keep your board waxed and your eyes on the forecast, because it tends not to stay this poor forever. Until then, I got nothing.

Rusty.
