The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's cookin' for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a rough one. The forecast for Dania South Beach is a long stretch of tiny, choppy, and messy conditions. We're looking at a solid 16-day run with no real surf to speak of. The first good wave? There isn't one. The whole period is a write-off for any kind of decent paddle. The water temperature is sitting at 87°F with only a slight anomaly, so it's warm as bathwater, which is about what you'd expect for this time of year.
The first few days, from Tuesday the 1st through the weekend, we've got nothing but 0.3ft to 2ft of slop. The combined swell energy is pathetic, barely scraping into double digits at its best (43) on the 2nd, but mostly living in the single digits. The wind is a constant cross-onshore, which is murdering any chance of a clean face. It's mostly light to moderate breezes, but just enough to keep it bumpy and ugly.
The second week isn't any better. From the 8th all the way through to the 16th, it's the same story: tiny swells, weak energy, and mostly cross-onshore or onshore wind. There are a couple of glassy moments, like the morning of the 12th and the 16th, but with swell heights peaking at 2ft and periods of 4 to 7 seconds, it's just not enough to push anything rideable. The swell direction is mostly from the east, which is fine for this spot, but there's just no power behind it.
If you're into kite surfing, the constant onshore and cross-onshore winds over the shallow, weak beach and reef setup might be more your thing than a paddle. For a surfer, this is a painful 16-day wait. The lack of consistency here is pretty normal for this area when it goes quiet, but it doesn't mean it's not frustrating. Forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.
