The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for the Dania South Beach area. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing special before a little pulse of energy shows up way down the line. Let’s break it down.
First up, from Friday August 14th right through to the end of the month, we’re looking at a real lull. The swell is tiny, mostly around 0.7 ft to 3 ft, with periods that are either super short (4 seconds) or just meh. The wind is almost always a cross-onshore, which just messes up what little ripple there is. There’s a glassy morning on Monday the 17th and again on Wednesday the 19th, but with only 0.7 ft of swell, it’s not even worth paddling out for. The combined energy is weak, rarely breaking 20 (values like 11 and 33) – you’d be better off finding a pool.
Now, we finally see something on Friday the 28th of August. That morning, we get a shift. The wind goes glassy from the west at 5 km/h, and the swell bumps up to 2 ft from the east with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 90 (moderate wave energy). It’s not big, but it’s clean. The water temp is about 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit.
The real standout, though, looks like Saturday the 29th of August. That morning we’ve got a light offshore wind from the west-southwest at 5 km/h, with a 2 ft east swell running at 10 seconds. The combined energy is a solid 171 (moderate wave energy). This is the best on offer, and it’ll be clean with those offshores. Dania South Beach is a beach and reef setup, fairly exposed to the east, so that direction is working for us. But keep in mind, this spot is inconsistent, so don’t expect magic. It’s a beginner-friendly wave size, but with the period and offshore wind, it’ll be a fun little session for anyone. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so you might have some company.
The rest of the forecast after that Saturday morning gets choppy again with cross-onshore winds, so really, that Saturday morning window is your one shot.
So, there you have it. A long dry spell, then a couple of promising mornings right at the end of the outlook. Keep your eyes on that Saturday the 29th – it’s the pick of the litter.
Stay salty,
Rusty
