The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window looks like a flat spell for Dania South Beach. The wave energy is next to nothing, with the highest combined energy readings barely cracking 86 (weak), and most days sitting in the single digits or teens. There’s truly nothing rideable on offer for the whole stretch.
The water temperature is running at 87°F which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
From Sunday, August 23rd, right through to Monday, September 7th, every single session shows poor surf conditions. Swell heights are tiny – we’re looking at 0.3ft to 2ft at best, with short, weak periods. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, adding chop and mess. A few morning windows have light breezes, but with no swell to work with, it’s a total non-starter.
This break is inconsistent at the best of times, and a run this blank isn’t unusual for the area. Honestly, with the onshore wind and tiny waves, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now. Keep the board in the bag, and maybe check back – forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a long wait.
Rusty.
