The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be real about what we've got on the table for the next couple of weeks. The short story is, it's a long, flat, and frustrating stretch. We're looking at a solid 16-day window with barely a ripple worth paddling for.
The first sign of any real surf won't show up until Wednesday, September 9th, and even then it's a struggle. Before that, you're looking at a week of absolute nothing. From Monday, August 31st right through to Tuesday, September 8th, Dania South Beach is a total write-off. We're talking ankle-snatchers at best, with the swell energy barely hitting double digits (25 to 48) and most days struggling to even get past 20. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore from the ESE and SE most of this time, just wrecking any chance of a clean surface. There's a few glimpses of glassy conditions on the morning of Sunday, September 6th, but with a swell of just 0.7 ft and energy of 2, it's a lake, not a surf break.
The water temperature is sitting at 87°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only positive I can find.
Alright, so the best we can do, and I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel here, is the morning of Wednesday, September 9th. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the NNE, with a period of 6 seconds. That's weak, short-period wind swell, with combined energy of 54 (weak). The wind is offshore from the WSW at 6 mph, which will keep it clean. The wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and honestly, that's being generous. This is a beginner-level break, and it's inconsistent, so don't expect much. The morning of Thursday, September 10th is a similar story: 2 ft from the NE with clean offshore WSW winds. The energy is a bit higher at 57, but it's still a flat, weak day.
After that, we get a few more mornings with clean offshore winds, like September 11th and 12th, but the swell drops back down to 1.0 ft to 1 ft. The wind is moderate to fresh offshore, so the surface will be clean, but there's just no swell to push through. The energy is pathetically low (12 to 27). For the rest of the second week, it's more of the same: tiny, weak surf with occasional clean conditions but never enough size to get excited about.
This stretch is a total bust. The break is a beach and reef setup, but with waves this small and poor quality, it's honestly more interesting for the kite surfers than for anyone with a paddle. For the best of a bad lot, if you absolutely have to get wet, the Wednesday morning of September 9th is your only real shot, but don't expect much. The forecast is poor, and it's a long way out.
