The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you: the next 16 days are looking flat as a pancake for Dania South Beach. It's a pretty grim run for surf, so let's just walk through it.
The water's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 87°, but that's about the only notable thing.
We kick off on Saturday, 5th September. The morning is tiny, with a weak 1ft swell from the east, but the wind is a cross-shore from the SSE at 9 mph, which isn't doing us any favours. The combined swell energy is a very weak 9. It's poor. The afternoon doesn't get any better with a 2ft SE swell and a cross-onshore breeze. Just a write-off.
Sunday the 6th? The morning goes glassy with a SW wind at 3 mph, which is a beautiful thing to see, but there's only 0.7ft of east swell. The period is 7 seconds, so it's weak and short. You can't surf that. The afternoon is even worse with 0.3ft. It's heartbreaking.
Monday the 7th is more of the same. Glassy morning with a W wind, but still only 0.7ft of east swell. The energy is a mere 9. The afternoon goes cross-onshore and choppy. It's a cruel tease.
Tuesday the 8th: another glassy morning, but the swell is still 0.7ft from the east. The energy is 14. It's just not enough. The afternoon gets messy.
Wednesday the 9th shows a tiny pulse. An onshore wind from the ESE at 9 mph, but the swell bumps up to 2ft from the NNE. The period is 9 seconds, and the combined energy is 89. It's still poor surf, but this is the biggest the swell gets in the whole run. The afternoon is a similar story with 3ft.
From Thursday the 10th all the way through to Sunday the 20th, it's a long, drawn-out stretch of tiny waves. We're talking 0.7ft to 3ft, mostly with onshore or cross-onshore winds and chop. The energy values are all low, mostly in the teens, twenties, or sixties. There's a period on Friday the 11th morning where it goes glassy with a 2ft NE swell, but the energy is only 42. It's a perfect surface, but there's just no power.
This is a 16-day gap with absolutely no good surf on offer. Dania South Beach is an inconsistent spot, and this is one of those dead runs. The combined energy of all swells stays weak throughout, never even breaking into the triple digits. It's a bust. For paddle surfing, you're out of luck. The setup here is a beach and reef, and with the onshore winds and tiny waves, honestly, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than anything on a surfboard.
