The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this 16-day stretch for Dania South Beach is about as flat as a Monday morning. There’s no standouts, no hidden gems, just a whole lot of nothing in the wave department.
The whole run from now right through to the start of September is a flat spell. You’re looking at tiny 0.7ft to 1ft dribbles from the east most days, with wave energy barely tickling double digits (11–49 range), so it’s weak as dishwater. The swell direction is mostly out of the east, which is okay for this beach-and-reef setup, but there’s just no push behind it. The water temp’s sitting at 87°F with an anomaly of 1°F, which is pretty average for this time of year – nothing to write home about.
A few mornings, like Thursday the 20th, offer glassy conditions with a light WSW breeze at 3 mph, but the swell’s only 0.7ft. It’s clean, sure, but you’d need a fairy to ride that. Later, we get some onshore winds picking up from the SE and SSE, making things choppy and messy. The odd spike in period shows up – like a 15-second swell on Wednesday the 26th afternoon, but that’s only 0.7ft and cross-onshore wind, so it’s just a waste of long period.
A few afternoons around the end of August and into early September see combined energy nudge up toward 44–49, but the swell height stays under 3ft from the ESE with short 4-second periods. That’s windswell rubbish, not anything you’d paddle out for. Not a single morning or afternoon hits a score worth mentioning. It’s all “poor surf conditions” right through.
If you’re desperate, there’s a Tuesday morning on the 18th with clean 0.7ft and a light cross-offshore breeze, but honestly, that’s a zen paddle at best. The pattern’s pretty typical for this area – sometimes it just goes flat for weeks. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank run. No need to wax the board.
Rusty.
