The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty checkin’ in from the beach. Let’s be real, folks, I’ve looked over the next 16 days for this area, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple to get excited about.
Right now, and for the next couple of weeks, it’s a flat spell. The only spot on the radar is Dania South Beach, a beach and reef setup that’s usually inconsistent, and it’s living up to that name. We’re kickin’ off on Saturday, 15th August, with a tiny 2ft swell from the SE, but with a cross-onshore wind at 12 mph, it’s choppy and messy. Water temp is 87°, which is about normal for this time of year, but you won’t be needing a spring suit for a paddle, not a surf.
The next few days are a total bust. Sunday the 16th through to the end of the week see nothing but knee-high slop, if that. Winds are all over the place – cross, cross-off, even a few moments of clean conditions on the morning of Tuesday the 18th with a light offshore. But with swell heights stuck at less than 1ft and combined energy barely reaching double digits, it’s just not surfable. You’d be better off takin’ a nap.
We do get a slight uptick right at the tail end of the window. Around Saturday, 29th August, there’s a morning with glassy conditions and a 2ft swell from the E. The combined energy bumps up to 21, but it’s still weak. That’s the single best moment in the whole 16 days, but honestly, it’s still a poor surf call. The swell direction (E) is okay, but it’s not a standout.
The last few days of August into the 30th are just more onshore wind and tiny, weak swell from the NE and NNE. The whole period is a washout for surf.
If you’ve got a kite, maybe have a look at that Saturday the 29th morning, but for a paddle surfer? It’s a blank run. The area just isn’t gettin’ any love from the ocean right now. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, leave the board in the car.
Rusty.
