The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We're looking at the next 16 days for Dania South Beach, and honestly, the swell window is just not cooperating. It's going to be a long, flat spell with nothing worth paddling out for.
Right from the start on Tuesday, August 4th, we're looking at tiny, weak waves. The morning offers a meager 1 foot from the east with a short period, and the combined energy is a weak 13. By the afternoon, it drops even further to 0.7 feet with onshore wind. That sets the tone for the whole run.
We've got a massive gap here. From August 4th all the way through to August 19th, every single morning and afternoon is marked as "poor surf conditions." The swell never gets above 4 feet, and even when it does bump up a little around Saturday, August 15th, with a 4-foot east-southeast swell, the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 18 mph, making it lumpy and ugly. The combined energy peaks at a weak 95. For a beach and reef setup like Dania South Beach, that's just messy.
Since the wind is consistently onshore or cross-onshore and the waves are small and weak, this setup actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There's simply no window with clean, glassy conditions or any decent, rideable swell.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, but that's the only thing that's average in a positive sense. It's a blank run, and for this area, when the swell direction is wrong, this is pretty normal. Forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to recommend. Don't waste your time.
Rusty, signing off.
