The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you: the next two weeks are looking pretty grim for Dania South Beach. There’s nothing here that’s worth paddling out for, so if you were hoping for a proper surf session, you’re gonna have to be patient. It’s just a long, flat stretch of small, weak, onshore slop.
Right now, we’re looking at a solid gap of no good surf for the entire 16-day window. From Saturday, August 1st, all the way through to Sunday, August 16th, every single report comes back as “poor surf conditions.” There’s no hidden gem in here.
The first few days, like Saturday and Sunday, you’ve got tiny waves – we’re talking 1 ft to 2 ft – with a super short, weak period of 3 to 8 seconds. That’s barely a ripple, and the wind is cross or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. The combined energy is weak, with readings like 16 or 24 – hardly enough to push a longboard around.
As we move into the second week, around the 10th of August, the swell does try to bump up a little. You’ll see some 4 ft to 4 ft swell from the ESE and SE, with the combined energy climbing up to 139 (moderate energy). But that’s the cruel joke – the wind stays cross-onshore or directly onshore at 12 to 16 mph, with plenty of rain and storm clouds in the mix. It’s going to be a choppy, blown-out mess, not the kind of thing that makes you want to wax your board.
Given the consistent onshore wind and the beach-and-reef setup, this is looking more like a kite surfer’s playground than a paddle surfer’s dream for the next couple weeks.
The water temp is sitting at a warm 86°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit if you just want to float around. But for actual waves? Sorry, mate. Nothing to see here. Forecasts can always change, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
