The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the outlook for Dania South Beach.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: this is a tough one. For the whole 16-day run, we’re looking at a flat spell with almost nothing to get excited about. The first recommendation for surf is on Sunday the 30th of August, but don’t get your hopes up. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions with barely any rideable waves.
Sunday the 30th kicks it off, but it’s a mix of cross-on winds from the ESE at 9 mph and risk of thunderstorms. The swell is tiny – around 2 ft from the ESE with a short, weak period of 4 seconds. The combined energy is a meagre 21, which is just a whisper. It’s choppy and messy, not worth paddling out for.
Monday the 31st is more of the same: light cross-onshore winds, swell dropping to 1 ft, poor conditions. This pattern drags on through Tuesday and Wednesday, with swell heights under 2 ft and wind mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the E or ESE. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Thursday the 3rd of September sees a slight bump – swell hits 4 ft from the ESE, but the period is still short at 5 seconds, and the combined energy only reaches 75 (still weak, under 100). The wind is cross-onshore from the SE at 9 mph in the morning, and onshore from the E at 16 mph in the afternoon. It’s not good, just less terrible.
After that, it’s a slow fade. From Friday the 4th right through to Monday the 14th of September, we’re looking at swell between 0.3 ft and 3 ft, almost always with cross-onshore or straight onshore wind. There’s a brief moment on Friday the 11th of September morning when the wind goes glassy (calm, 0 mph from the NW) and Saturday the 12th of September morning is also glassy (ESE at 3 mph), but the swell is just 0.7 ft. It would be a beautiful, flat, clean lake.
There are no standouts here. The best on offer, if you can call it that, is Thursday the 3rd of September with that 4 ft swell, but it’s short-period, choppy, and the wind is messy. For beginners, anything over 5 ft is too big, but this is small enough. Even so, the quality is so poor it’s hardly worth the effort. The beach and reef setup, with this amount of wind and weak swell, looks more interesting for kite surfing than a proper paddle session.
Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it can’t stay this flat forever. But for now, it’s a blank run.
Rusty.
