The Lowdown

Alright, let me level with ya. It's a bit of a tough stretch ahead for Dania South Beach (Florida). Over the next 16 days, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing special. The first real bump in energy doesn't show up until September 14th, so that’s a solid week and a half of flat to tiny, messy surf.

Right off the bat, from the morning of September 4th all the way through to the 13th, it’s pretty grim. Tiny waves, mostly under 2 ft, with a lot of cross-shore and onshore winds. There are a couple of glassy mornings on the 7th and 8th – flat but clean, if you just want to sit on a board. The swell energy is in the single digits to low double-digits (usually less than 100), so there’s just no power behind anything. You’re paddling for nothing.

The one standout – and I use that term loosely – is around September 14th and 15th. We finally see a bump in energy, with a combined swell value of 269 (moderate) on Monday the 14th. The swell height pushes up to 4 ft to 5 ft, coming out of the NE. Now, the bad news is the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph, making conditions lumpy and choppy. It’s more of a wind-battle than a surf session. The period is short, around 6-7 seconds, so it’s just messy windswell. The water temperature anomaly is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

Honestly, for the first week, don't bother. The second week looks a little more interesting size-wise, but the quality is poor. With the swell direction being NE and the wind mostly onshore or cross-onshore, it’s going to be a bumpy ride. This beach-and-reef setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing during that windier period in the second week. It just doesn’t stay poor for too long around here, so maybe the forecasts will change, but for now, keep your expectations on the floor.
