The Lowdown
Alright surfers, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s goin’ on.
Straight up, the next couple of weeks are lean. Dania South Beach is dealin’ with a whole lot of flatness. We got tiny, short-period windswell from the east and southeast for the first ten days, and the combined energy is just pitiful (14, 25, 40 – all weak). The wind is mostly blowin’ onshore or cross-onshore, choppin’ up any little bump. The water temp is about 86°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
The only real chance to get wet comes on Wednesday, August 26th, in the morning. A north-northeast swell finally shows up at 4ft with a 9-second period, and the combined energy gets to 175 (moderate). The wind goes glassy, with a light offshore breeze from the SSW. That’s gonna give us clean, lined-up waves. With the swell comin’ from the NNE, it’s a good angle for the spot. For a beginner-friendly break, this is the standout. The afternoon of the 26th gets messy with cross-shore wind and storms, so hit it early.
Dania’s an inconsistent break, so a long dry spell like this ain’t unusual. It’s a spot that can get crowded sometimes, so expect a few heads out there for that morning window, but it won’t be a circus.
Rusty.
