The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you – for the next couple of weeks, it’s looking pretty grim around here. We’re not talking about a total flat spell, but the quality just isn’t there for a proper paddle session.

Let’s start with the main spot we’ve got data for: Dania South Beach. It’s a beach and reef setup, and right now the water temperature is sittin’ at a warm 87°F, which is about a degree and a half warmer than usual for this time of year, so you can leave the rubber at home.

From Monday the 24th right through to the end of August, it’s a real struggle. We’ve got tiny wind swell – we’re talking 0.3ft to 3ft max, and nearly all of it is cross-onshore or straight onshore. That’s just making a mess of the water. The combined swell energy stays weak as a kitten, only hitting 5 to 36 (weak energy) on the scale. There’s no real power behind any of it. This stretch is just a write-off for surfers.

Now, as we roll into September, things get a little interesting, but not good enough to get excited about just yet. On the morning of Thursday the 3rd of September, we see a pulse of waist-high swell at 2ft coming from the NE. It's only got a 14-second period, so there’s some decent groundswell energy in there, with the combined reading jumping to 232 (moderate wave energy). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the SW at 6 mph. That would give us clean, workable lines for a longboard or a funboard. But here’s the catch – this swell is long-period for a beach break, so it might wrap a bit straight, and given Dania South Beach is inconsistent, you could be waiting a while.

The morning of Friday the 4th of September offers a similar setup: 2ft from the NE, 13-second period, light cross-offshore wind from the WSW. Again, surfable but very ordinary.

Then on Saturday the 5th of September, the morning wakes up with a clean offshore breeze from the W at 9 mph, with 1ft of NE swell at a 12-second period. The combined energy drops right back to 59 (weak energy). It’ll look glassy, but the lack of power will make it a slog.

So, if you’re itching for a paddle, the best bet in the whole 16-day window is the mornings of the 3rd and 4th of September. Even then, it's not a standout; it’s just the least worst option. For the rest of the time, with these tiny waves and onshore slop, this spot looks more interesting for the kite surfers than for anyone on a paddleboard.

Rusty.
