The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day stretch for the Dania South Beach area is a tough one to write. I've stared at the charts and there's just no good surf on offer. The whole period is a write-off.
Let's get the bad news out of the way. From Wednesday the 5th all the way through to Tuesday the 18th, the reports are all saying the same thing: poor surf conditions. We're looking at a solid two-week gap where you'd be better off doing literally anything else. The swell is tiny, mostly around 2ft to 4ft, and what little energy there is comes from the southeast and east with a short, weak period. The "combined energy of all swells directed here" barely gets into the double digits, mostly sitting in the 30s and 40s (weak energy). The wind is a constant problem too – cross-on or onshore most of the time, making it a choppy, bumpy mess. A beginner might find a knee-high ripple, but it won't be clean.
There is a tiny flicker of hope right at the very end. On Tuesday morning the 18th of August, we get a moment of glassy conditions with the wind swinging light from the SSW. The swell is still only 2ft, but it's clean. The next morning, Wednesday the 19th, we get a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSW, cleaning up a 3ft wave. It's still tiny, but it's the best it's going to get. For a spot that's "inconsistent" and "fairly exposed" to the east, this is a real flash in the pan.
To be honest, with the swell this small and the wind so messy, a setup like this (beach and reef) is often more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on most of these days. We just don't have the power.
For now, keep the board in the car for a morning coffee session on the 18th or 19th if you're desperate, but don't expect much. The forecast can always change, but this one's a long, flat road.
Rusty.
