The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the surf situation for Dania South Beach.
To be straight with you, it’s a tough outlook. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing worth paddling out for. The first solid chance doesn't show up until Monday the 14th of September. That's a solid two weeks of waiting. Before that, we're looking at a lot of small, weak, and choppy conditions. The wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore, messing up what little bump there is. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2 ft, with short periods and weak combined energy readings mostly under 100 – just not enough push. The exception is a brief bump on Thursday the 3rd of September with swell hitting 3 ft, but it's coming from the SE at a short period with a 16 mph cross-onshore wind. Rubbish. We'll see a bit more energy around the 9th and 10th, with combined energy creeping into triple digits (102, 73, 61) but the swell direction is from the NE, which is not the optimum E direction for this spot, and the winds are still messy. It’s a blank run of poor surf all the way until the last day of the forecast.
Now, that Monday the 14th of September offers our only real chance. A clean morning is on the cards. The wind swings offshore from the WSW at 9 mph – that’s the standout. It’ll be gentle offshore and clean. We’ve got a 4 ft swell from the ENE, period of 5 seconds. Look, the period is short, so it won't have much grunt, but it’s the only time the stars align for a surf. The combined swell energy is 72, which is weak. For a beginner-friendly beach and reef setup like this, it's small and manageable. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at around 87°F.
So, the pick of the entire 16-day window is that Monday morning, the 14th of September. It’s the only one worth paddling out for. The afternoon sees the wind shift and the forecast gets risk of storms, so make the most of the morning session.
Rusty.
