The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. We’ve got a 16-day window looking out from Dania South Beach, and honestly, the surf just isn’t showing up. There’s nothing to get excited about, no real standouts, just a whole lot of flat and poor conditions. The first recommendation doesn’t come until Tuesday afternoon, August 4th, and even then it’s a struggle. From there, we’re looking at a long, drawn-out run of tiny, weak swell and messy wind.
The Pattern
The whole period is plagued by weak, short-period swell. The water is sitting at a warm 86°F, which is about normal for this time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s average. The combined swell energy rarely gets past a weak 47 (0.47) on Thursday the 6th morning, and mostly it’s down in the teens and twenties. That’s barely enough to push a ripple through. The wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore, keeping things choppy and blown out. The odd moment of cleaner, cross-offshore wind shows up on the 17th and 18th of August, but the swell is practically non-existent by then – 0.7 ft and 1 ft with long periods of 9 seconds, which is just a long wait for a tiny bump.
The Breakdown
Tuesday, August 4th: We kick off with a score of zero. Tiny 2 ft swell from the SE, period of 3 seconds, and a cross-onshore wind at 15 mph. The wave energy is just 8 (0.08). It’s a mess.
Wednesday, August 5th to Monday, August 10th: A string of days with the same story. Swell stays between 1 ft and 3 ft, mostly from the east, with periods of 4 to 5 seconds. The wind is either cross-onshore or onshore, making it choppy and unappealing. The best energy we see is a weak 74 (0.74) on the morning of the 8th, but it’s still cross-onshore and messy. There’s no reason to paddle out.
Tuesday, August 11th to Sunday, August 16th: The swell drops even further, hanging around 1 ft to 3 ft, and the energy continues to be weak. The wind stays stubbornly cross-onshore. The 16th morning does show a light breeze, but the swell is still tiny at 2 ft.
Monday, August 17th to Wednesday, August 19th: The last few days finally offer cleaner conditions. The wind turns cross-offshore on the 17th morning (SSW, 6 mph) and 18th morning (SSW, 9 mph), and cross-shore on the 19th morning. The swell, however, is gone. We’re looking at 0.7 ft to 1 ft with long periods of 9 seconds. That’s a groundswell, but it’s so small it won’t break cleanly on a beach setup. It’s more of a lake than a surf break.
So there you have it. This is a classic blank run for the area. Nothing to chase, no good options. The forecast can change, but right now, this is a write-off. Keep your board on the rack and wait for the next system.
Rusty.
