The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for the Dania South Beach area is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions. Don’t get your hopes up for anything epic.
The pattern right out of the gate is flat and poor. The first few days, from Monday the 3rd through to the end of the first week, are a write-off. We’re talking tiny swell that barely registers, with onshore and cross-onshore winds messing up what little bump there is. The combined energy is weak, sitting in the low double digits (14 on Monday), and that’s the story for a while. There’s a gap of several days here with zero recommendations. It’s just not happening.
The only real, and I mean *only*, standout in this whole forecast comes on the morning of Tuesday the 18th. That’s over two weeks away, so treat it as a promising but uncertain long-range hope. The winds are forecast to swing light cross-offshore from the southwest, which could clean things up. But the swell is tiny – a mere 0.7 ft from the east, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a pathetic 12. It’s not a wave you’d drive for, but if the wind holds, it might be the one clean, glassy-looking moment in an otherwise flat spell.
For the rest of the time, expect a lot of small, onshore slop. The water temperature is a warm 86°F which is about normal for this time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s normal. Honestly, the setup here looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer for most of this period. The swell is too small and the wind is too strong and onshore.
Don’t stress too much, though. Dania South Beach is inconsistent at the best of times, so a blank run like this isn’t unusual. Forecasts can change, but for now, keep the board in the bag.
Rusty.
