The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Dania South Beach.
To be straight with you, this stretch isn't firing at all over the next 16 days. The entire run is looking bleak. For the first ten days, from the 13th to the 22nd of September, we’ve got a real dry spell with nothing worth paddling out for. The waves are tiny, mostly around 0.7ft to 2ft, and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, messing up what little bump there is. The combined swell energy is weak, mostly in the single digits or low double digits (8 to 99), and the water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 87°F. It’s pretty much a write-off for a surf.
Things do try to pick up a little around the 23rd of September. Wednesday morning might be the closest we get to a session. We’re looking at a clean window with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NW and a 3ft swell from the NNE at 8 seconds. The combined energy climbs to a moderate 107, and the conditions are described as clean. But even then, the surf is still only “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – nothing to get excited about, just something to get wet on if you’re desperate.
From the 25th, the swell height actually builds, hitting 4ft on Friday afternoon, then 5ft on Saturday morning, and even 6ft on Saturday afternoon the 26th. But the wind is a fresh cross-onshore breeze at 19 mph, making it choppy and lumpy. The period drops to a short 6 seconds, so it’s just wind-slop. The combined energy gets up to 317, but with that wind and short period, it’s messy and more suited to a kite than a paddle.
After that, it drops back down into the 2ft to 3ft range with more onshore wind through the 27th and 28th. No real standout sessions, just a whole lot of waiting.
So, what’s the best on offer? Honestly, Wednesday morning the 23rd is the pick, and it’s a very low bar. That clean 3ft NNE swell with the light NW cross-offshore breeze is your best chance for a small, clean wave. Don’t expect much, but it’s the only window that isn’t blown out or flat. For the rest, you’re better off waiting for a change in the forecast.
Rusty.
