The Lowdown
Alright, I’m not gonna sugarcoat this one for Dania South Beach. We’re looking at a tough stretch.
From Wednesday, August 5th, all the way through Thursday, August 20th, the surf is pretty much flat. Over two weeks of nothing to write home about. The energy in the water is weak, with combined swell energy readings sitting between 9 and 70. That’s tiny numbers. The swell is coming from the east, but it’s all short-period windswell, with periods of only 4 to 7 seconds. Nothing with any punch.
The water temp is around 86°F, which is about 1°F above average for this time of year. Normal conditions.
The wind is the biggest problem. It’s onshore or cross-onshore from the east or southeast almost every single day, blowing at 9 to 16 mph. That’s keeping the surface choppy and messy. There are a couple of lighter wind mornings, like Thursday, August 13th, and Tuesday, August 18th, but the swell is only 1 ft to 3 ft. It’s not enough to save the day. Every single forecast says “poor surf conditions.”
This is a beach and reef setup, but with these conditions, it’s looking more like a spot for kite surfers or paddleboarders than anyone looking for a real wave. The few days in the second week that show a little more, like the mornings of the 18th and 19th, only offer up 3 ft to 3 ft of weak, onshore swell. It’s a flat spell. For a place where this kind of run isn’t super unusual, you just gotta wait for the next system to roll through.
