The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's happening at Dania South Beach.
Honestly, it's a pretty grim outlook for the next 16 days. The surf is just not showing up. We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves with poor conditions. For the first eight days, from Saturday the 15th right through to the 23rd, the swell is barely a whisper, with heights staying under 2ft and the combined energy is a measly 11 to 34 – that's weak, flat energy. The wind is mostly a cross-onshore mess, keeping things choppy and uninviting. There's a short window on the morning of Tuesday the 18th where the wind goes light offshore from the west, but it's on a 0.7ft wave with an 8-second period. That's not surf, that's a lake ripple.
The water temperature is sitting at 87°F, which is about 2°F warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing unusual, just a warm bath.
Then, just when you think it might wake up, the second week from the 24th to the 30th doesn't offer much more. The swell finally gets a little bump on the 26th of August, hitting 2ft from the ESE, but it's a short 4-second period with a light cross-onshore breeze. The combined energy is still a pathetic 22. The biggest day of the whole run is the 29th, with a 3ft swell from the east, but the period is only 4 seconds and the wind is blowing cross-onshore at 12 mph. The energy only reaches 52, which is still weak. It's a beach and reef setup here, but with that kind of short-period, onshore slop, it's honestly looking more interesting for a kite than a paddle.
To be honest, there's not a single standout day in the whole 16-day window. The waves are just too small, the energy is too low, and the wind is rarely your friend. This break is inconsistent, and this run proves it. It's a blank run, plain and simple. Forecasts can change, but for now, I'd leave the board at home.
Rusty.
