The Lowdown
Oi, Rusty here. Look, I'm gonna level with you. For the next sixteen days, Dania South Beach is offering up a big fat zero in the surf department. The models are showing nothing but "poor surf conditions" across the board, every single day. It's a tough stretch.
Right now, the water temperature is sitting at a warm 86° with an anomaly of 1°, which is pretty much right where it should be for this time of year. But that's about the only good news.
We start off on Sunday, August 2nd with a risk of thunderstorms and a tiny 1.0ft swell from the east, with a period of just 8 seconds and a weak combined energy of only 20. The wind is cross-shore from the south at 9 mph, which is about the only thing that's not total rubbish. It's a beach and reef set-up that's inconsistent and rarely breaks, and when it does, it's for beginners only. Those south-easterly winds kick in Monday afternoon, turning cross-onshore and making everything choppy.
The whole first week is a write-off. Swells hover around 1.0ft to 3ft, with periods all over the place but mostly short, and the wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore. By Friday the 7th, the swell bumps up to 5ft from the east-northeast, the combined energy hits 132, which is the highest we see, but it's all onshore wind at 19 mph and the period is a pathetic 6 seconds. That's not for surfing, that's for kite surfers if they're keen.
The second week, from August 10th onward, is more of the same. The swell direction shifts to the southeast, but the heights are still well under 5ft, the periods are short, and the wind is consistently cross-onshore. The combined energy never gets above 85. It's a long, flat, and choppy outlook. The only slight change is on the 17th, where the wind drops to just 3 mph from the southeast, but with a 0.7ft swell, it's still a total non-event.
So yeah, there's nothing to get excited about here. This spot is rarely consistent, and this is one of those blank runs. The forecasts can always change, but for now, I'd leave the board at home and find something else to do.
Rusty.
