The Lowdown
Alright, this is a tough one to call but I’ll give it to you straight. For the next 16 days, don’t expect much. The first week is basically a write-off—tiny, messy, and not worth paddling out for. There’s a big gap of flat, poor conditions from Monday 17 August through to the end of the month. Things try to shuffle back to life around the very end of the period, but it’s still going to be marginal.
The first surfable window doesn’t really show up until Friday 28 August morning at Dania South Beach (United States). The swell is only 1 ft from the east, with a period of 11 seconds, giving that combined wave energy of just 68—weak stuff. The wind is light and cross-off from the SSW, so it’ll be clean. That’s the best you’re going to get in this whole run, and it’s ordinary. Water temp is about 87°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Saturday 29 August morning offers a slightly bigger bump—2 ft from the NNE, period 8 seconds, with glassy conditions thanks to a light W wind—but it’s still only 74 energy. Not a standout, just the least bad option. Dania South Beach is inconsistent and can get crowded sometimes, so don’t expect a secret session.
The following Sunday 30 August morning is similar: 2 ft, NNE, 8 seconds, glassy, energy of 71. Again, it’s clean but small. Nothing in this forecast is worth getting excited about. If you’re a beginner, the tiny swell stays under 5 ft, so it’s safe, but there’s just not enough push to have fun. For experts, there’s nothing here.
Overall, it’s a bleak stretch. The surf is poor, weak, and inconsistent. Blank runs like this are more normal for this area, but forecasts can change. For now, save your energy.
