The Lowdown
Right, gather 'round. This is Rusty, and I'm looking at the next couple of weeks. Honestly, folks, it's a bit of a flat spell ahead. The finder's not serving up any good surf options in this 16-day window. We're looking at a long, blank run.
We've only got one break on the radar, Dania South Beach. It's a beach and reef setup, exposed to the east. But right now, it's inconsistent and the swell is tiny. The water temp is sitting around 86°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.
From Thursday the 6th of August right through to Friday the 21st of August, it's all "poor surf conditions." The swell is just a dribble, mostly from the east or southeast, with heights barely scraping 3 ft on the 6th. The period is short, mostly 4 to 5 seconds, so it's weak, weak, weak. The combined energy of all swells is low, never breaking 100 – we're seeing numbers like 32, 54, and 84, just weak energy. To make matters worse, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore almost the whole time, blowing 9 to 15 mph, leaving it choppy and messy.
There's a tiny blip on the 16th of August with a 3 ft swell from the ESE and a 5-second period, but the wind is still cross-onshore. It's just not worth paddling out for. The whole setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest. The only positive is that the break is often on the more consistent side for this area, so a blank run like this is a bit more normal. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards at home.
Rusty.
