The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what we've got coming up over the next couple of weeks for the Dania South Beach area. I gotta be straight with you, it's a grim picture. The whole 16-day window is a flat spell with nothing rideable. We've got a run from now all the way through to the end of the forecast with no surf on offer. Every single entry has a score that tells me it's just not happening. The combined swell energy is tiny, barely breaking into double digits at its best, with a reading of 42 on one occasion. It's a real bummer.
We're looking at tiny dribblers, mostly from the east, with periods all over the place. The water temp is sitting at a toasty 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. But with nothing to surf, it's just a tease.
If you were hoping for a paddle, forget it. The swell is flat, and when there's a tiny pulse, the wind is often on it or cross-onshore. The one tiny glimmer is on the 8th of September. There's a late-arriving long-period groundswell from the east at 0.7ft with a 16-second period and a gentle offshore wind. But honestly, 0.7ft is barely a ripple, even if it's clean. The spot itself is a beach and reef setup that's inconsistent, so a blank run like this is more normal for the area. It’s a tough one to swallow, but that's the reality.
Rusty.
