The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for the Dania South Beach area. The whole 16-day window is looking like a write-off for any decent paddle surf. There’s just nothing on the cards that’s worth chasing.
From Monday the 10th of August right through to Tuesday the 25th of August, every single session is rated as poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, the wind is all wrong, and it’s just not going to happen. The highest combined energy we see all period is a measly 66 (weak energy) on the afternoon of the 19th, and that’s with a 1ft, 12-second easterly swell. That’s a long period for such a small wave, meaning it might offer a little shape, but it’s still absolutely tiny and the wind is a gentle onshore breeze, so it’ll be a bumpy mess.
The first few days are especially grim. Monday the 10th kicks off with a 2ft SE swell, but it’s got a short 4-second period and a 12 mph cross-onshore wind. That’s just chop. It doesn’t get any better. We see a few days with a 0.7ft or 1.0ft swell and periods hitting 8 to 15 seconds, but the wind is always cross-onshore or onshore, keeping it looking ugly. The water temperature is sitting at a warm 86°F on the first morning, which is about average for the time of year, but you’ll be sitting there on a flat, lumpy ocean.
If you’re desperate, the only slight glimmer is on the morning of Tuesday the 18th of August. The swell is still only 0.7ft, but the period is a very long 15 seconds, and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNW. That will make the water clean. But with a combined energy of 26, it’s just not enough to surf. The setup here is a beach and reef, so with that tiny, long-period groundswell, it might look prettier for a longboard float session than a proper surf.
Because of the persistent small swell and strong, onshore winds, this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of this period. The entire 16-day forecast is a blank run. That’s uncommon for this area, but it’s what we’ve got. Hang in there, forecasts can change, but right now, leave the boards at home.
