The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this 16-day window for Dania South Beach is a tough one. We’ve got a solid 16-day stretch ahead, but honestly, there’s not a single session that’s worth paddling out for. The wave energy is weak across the board, with combined swell energy readings scraping into the double digits at best, like a paltry 6 on the 6th and barely hitting 74 on the 9th. That’s flukey, gutless stuff.
We start on Sunday the 6th with a measly 1ft of swell from the ESE at a pathetic 3-second period, cross-on wind from the SE at 6 mph, and the water temp at 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. It’s just poor surf – no two ways about it. Monday the 7th morning goes glassy with a WSW offshore at 3 mph, but the swell drops to 0.7ft from the E at 8 seconds – barely a ripple. The rest of that week and into the next is a blur of tiny, short-period slop, mostly from the NE or ESE, with onshore or cross-onshore winds that keep it choppy and messy.
By Wednesday the 9th afternoon, we see the highest energy of the whole run at 74 (2ft, NNE, 8 seconds), but it’s onshore from the E at 12 mph, so it’s just blown-out junk. That pattern holds – a little bump here and there, but never enough to overcome the wind. Even the glassy Tuesday morning on the 8th (0.7ft, E, 8 seconds) is too small to surf.
The second week is more of the same. From the 14th onward, we’re stuck with 0.7ft to 2ft waves, periods mostly 4 seconds or less, and constant onshore or cross-onshore winds from the E or ENE, sometimes gusting to 19 mph on the 20th. The energy never climbs above 29 (on the 13th), and the surf quality is consistently rated as poor. This isn’t a spot that typically fires in these conditions, and with Dania South Beach being a beach-and-reef setup, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the consistent onshore wind and small, weak swell.
Bottom line: there’s no standout session here. The forecast is flat, and the few tiny pulses we get are ruined by wind. Sometimes it just goes like that – a blank run. Don’t hold your breath; forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board at home.
