The Lowdown
Alright, it’s Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – we’ve got a bit of a dry spell on our hands. For the next 16 days, there’s nothing that’s gonna get the heart racing. The whole stretch is a big fat zero when it comes to worthwhile surf. Dania South Beach is the only break showing up, and it’s just not happening.
The problem is a real lack of size and energy. We’re stuck with tiny scraps of swell, mostly around 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with energy readings barely ticking over – the combined energy of all swells directed here is weak, stuck in the double digits for most of the run, like 16 (weak energy) on the 11th morning, or 29 (weak energy) on the 16th. The swell direction is all over the place – from E to SSE – and the periods are short, mostly 4 to 8 seconds, so no real push behind it. Winds are a mess too, mostly cross-onshore, which just chops up what little is there.
The only moment that even gets a second look is Monday the 17th morning. It’s glassy – a proper glassy moment – with a light breeze from the SE at 5 km/h. But the swell is still only 0.7 ft with a period of 8 seconds. It’s a tease. You’ll be sitting there on a longboard, maybe catching a knee-high ripple, but that’s the absolute best of it. Then it’s right back to choppy, cross-onshore junk for the rest of the week.
Later on, around the 19th, the energy ticks up a bit – 71 (moderate wave energy) on the Wednesday morning with a 1 ft swell from the E at 12 seconds. That’s a longer period, which suggests better-shaped waves more suited to a point or reef, but mind you, Dania South Beach is a beach and reef setup. The wind is still cross-onshore, though, so it’ll be bumpy. Not worth paddling out for.
This is a classic Florida flat spell. It happens. Don’t sweat it – forecasts can change, and it rarely stays this blank for long. For now, leave the board in the car and keep an eye on the horizon.
