The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Dania South Beach is a quiet one. The finder is basically telling us there’s nothing worth paddling out for, and looking at the guidance, it’s just a long stretch of small, choppy, onshore junk. The break is a beach and reef setup that’s pretty exposed, but the swell just isn’t playing ball.
We’re kicking off on Saturday morning, August 8th, with a tiny 1ft easterly swell at a weak 8 seconds. Combined energy is a measly 60, and with a cross-on wind from the southeast, it’s already choppy. The water temp is about average for this time of year; nothing unusual there. The whole first week is a write-off – every session from August 8th through to the 14th is tagged as “poor surf conditions.” The swell never gets above 3ft, the period is often short, and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, making it a messy, bumpy surface. There’s a slight bump on Saturday the 15th of August, with a 4ft southeast swell, but it’s still cross-onshore at 16 mph, so it’s just a bigger, choppier mess (combined energy 63). That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
After that, it settles back into a real flat spell. From Sunday the 16th right through to Sunday the 23rd of August, we’re talking tiny waves – mostly 0.7ft to 1ft. The wind does ease up to light breezes on a few mornings, like the 19th, 20th, and 22nd, but with only 1ft of swell and a period of 13 seconds on the 19th, that long-period groundswell will just slide straight through the beach break. Combined energy peaks at 65 on the 19th, which is still weak. The guidance says the break is inconsistent and only for beginners, and this forecast bears that out.
Honestly, there’s not a single standout session in this outlook. The whole 16 days is a total gap for decent surf. Dania South Beach is going to be a flat, choppy affair. It’s one of those stretches where the forecasts can change, but for now, keep the board in the car and hope for a better run next month.
Rusty.
