The Lowdown
Alright, let’s take a look at what’s cookin’. I’ll level with you, it’s looking pretty grim for Dania South Beach over the next couple of weeks. If you’re looking for a wave, you might be better off finding a pool.
Right now, we’re in a real dry spell. From August 28th, the surf is flat as a pancake. Heights are barely 0.3 ft to 2 ft, coming from the East with short, weak periods. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, turning the water into a choppy mess. The water temperature on the 28th is 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the season.
There’s a big gap here. From August 28th all the way to the morning of September 9th, it’s nothing but “poor surf conditions.” The wave energy is super weak, with values mostly under 100 (like 21, 18, 20, 26), just dead.
Then, on the morning of Wednesday, September 9th, we get a tiny glimmer. The swell jumps to 2 ft from the NNE, with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy hits 93 – still weak, but it’s something. We get a light, cross-offshore wind from the SW, cleaning it up a bit. The report calls it “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s your only shot. The spot is a beach and reef setup, and it’s inconsistent, so be ready to wait. The swell direction (NNE) isn’t the ideal east for the place, but beggars can’t be choosers.
After that, it’s back to the same old story. The rest of the forecast into September 12th is tiny, weak, and messy again, with energy dropping to single digits.
So, if you’re desperate, the only window is the morning of Wednesday, September 9th. Otherwise, this is a two-week dead zone. The break is inconsistent anyway, so a long stretch with nothing isn’t too surprising.
