The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. Dania South Beach is looking pretty grim for the next week and a half. It's a long, flat spell with nothing but tiny, weak dribblers. Starting Wednesday afternoon (Sept 9) and running through to the morning of Monday the 21st, there's barely a wave worth paddling for. We're talking surf mostly under 3 ft, and a lot of the time it's down in that 1 to 2 ft range. The energy in the water is almost non-existent, with readings like (68) dropping down to single digits (6, 9, 4). It's going to be a long, boring session for anyone who even bothers.
Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the east and southeast, which will keep things choppy and messy. Far from the clean conditions we're after. Water temps are a warm 87°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but that's about the only highlight.
This is a serious dry spell, a real test of patience. You can pretty much write off the first week and a half of this forecast. It's just flat and lifeless.
But here's the good news: a pulse of real surf is coming. Around Monday, September 21st, the ocean finally wakes up. Swell heights jump to 4 to 5 ft, and the energy levels go through the roof, hitting readings of (203), (450), and (258). The direction is from the NNE, which is a decent angle for this spot, and the period stretches out to 9-10 seconds, giving the waves some real punch.
Monday afternoon is looking like the pick of the bunch, with that 5 ft of NNE swell and 450 units of energy. It's not huge, but it's a proper amount of surf. The cross-onshore winds will still be around, so it might be a bit lumpy, but it's a night-and-day difference from what we've had. Tuesday and Wednesday (Sept 22 & 23) keep the energy flowing too, with similar size and power.
So, if you're looking for a wave, mark Monday, September 21st on your calendar. That's the day to be out there. It won't be perfect, but it'll be surfable, and that's a whole lot better than nothing. Might end up being more of a kite day with the wind and the building swell, but for the dedicated surfer, it's worth the wait.
That's all I've got for now.
