The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – we’ve got a pretty grim stretch ahead for Dania South Beach. This is a beach and reef setup that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and the next couple of weeks are looking like a write-off for any kind of proper surf. We’re staring down a long gap with no real waves to get excited about.
The water temp is sitting at a warm 86°F currently, which is about average for this time of year, so at least it’ll be a nice swim.
Starting Saturday, August 8th, through to the end of the forecast, it’s all “poor surf conditions.” We’ve got tiny swell – nothing above 3ft and most of it hanging around 1ft to 3ft. The combined wave energy is weak, mostly sitting below 100 (50 or less for many days), which means there’s just no push. The swell direction is mostly from the E or ESE, with a period often around 4 to 8 seconds – that’s short-period, weak windswell, not the kind of stuff that builds a decent wave.
The wind is a major problem too. For almost the entire period, we’ve got onshore or cross-onshore breezes blowing at 9 to 12 mph, keeping the surface choppy and messy. There are a couple of mornings, like Saturday August 22nd and Sunday August 23rd, where the wind goes light and clean (cross-off), but the swell is only 0.7ft to 1ft – nothing to ride.
There is a tiny blip on Thursday, August 20th, where the combined energy jumps to 106 (moderate) and the period hits 11 seconds, but it’s still only 2ft swell coming from the E with a cross-onshore breeze. It’s still “poor surf conditions” so don’t get your hopes up.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The whole 16-day window is a bust for Dania South Beach. With the consistent lack of quality and mostly choppy winds, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now.
Stay patient, folks. Forecasts can change.
