The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch looks pretty flat and grim for the next couple of weeks. I’ve scanned the whole 16-day window, and honestly, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The only break on the radar is Dania South Beach, and it’s just not happening.
Right from the start, Tuesday the 14th, we’ve got a tiny 0.7ft easterly windswell with a short, weak 8-second period and only 11 (weak) in the energy department. It’s onshore and messy. The water is sitting at 87°, which is about 2° warmer than normal for this time of year — a bit of a warm bath, but nothing that’ll save the surf.
The whole first week is a total write-off. Wednesday the 15th through Sunday the 20th, we’re stuck with dribbly 0.3ft to 3ft slop, mostly from the NE or SSE, with periods as low as 3 to 4 seconds. That’s barely a ripple. The wind is either cross-onshore or just straight onshore, keeping things choppy and blown out. There’s a brief moment on Thursday morning the 16th where it goes glassy, but the swell is only 1.0ft with a 7-second period and 13 energy – not enough to push a piece of driftwood.
The second week doesn’t get any better. From Monday the 21st through to Wednesday the 29th, we’re looking at the same sad story: 0.7ft to 3ft of weak, short-period windswell. The energy finally climbs a bit towards the end, hitting 54 on the 29th, but that’s still moderate at best, and the swell is still under 3ft with a 5-second period and cross-onshore winds. For a break that’s already inconsistent, this is a long, flat spell.
Here’s the bottom line: there are no standouts, no windows, no hope for a decent wave in the next 16 days. Dania South Beach is a beginner-friendly spot, but with nothing to ride, it’s a no-go. If you’re desperate for a splash, it might be more interesting for a kite session than a paddle, given the onshore breeze and tiny, bumpy swell. Keep the board in the car, and check back – forecasts can change, but this one’s a real stinker.
Rusty.
