The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s call it like it is for Dania South Beach – it’s looking grim for a while.
We’ve got a long stretch of flat and funky conditions ahead. From now through most of September, the swell is pretty much asleep. From Wednesday the 9th all the way to about Monday the 21st, it’s small, weak, and messy. The wave energy is down in the dumps (between 5 and 69), which is weak stuff. Winds are blowing onshore or cross-onshore from the east or southeast at 10 to 15 mph, and the surf quality is just plain poor across the board.
The water is a touch warmer than usual at 87° for the first session we look at, which is nice for a swim, but not for riding waves.
The only little pulse shows up on Tuesday the 22nd of September, when the swell bumps to 4ft from the ENE. But it’s a short-period, weak windswell. The wind is cross-onshore from the southeast at 15 mph, making it choppy and lumpy. For a beach and reef setup like this, it’s just not worth the paddle. Honestly, with that wind, this setup looks more like a kiter’s playground than a surfer’s.
So, what’s the best wave on offer? There isn’t one. No standouts in the whole 16-day window. If you’re really jonesing, the morning of Wednesday the 9th has 2ft from the NNE, but the wind is onshore at 12 mph from the ESE. It’s poor surf, plain and simple. Save your energy. This is one of those dead periods for the area. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
Stay patient, keep an eye out, and leave the board in the car.
Rusty.
