The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get straight into it: the next two weeks for Dania South Beach are looking pretty flat and most of the time not worth suiting up for. There’s a long dry spell from now right through the end of August and into early September. If you’re hoping for waves, this stretch is a bit of a bust.

On Wednesday morning, August 26th, here at Dania South Beach, we’ve got a weak 1ft southeast windswell with only a 4-second period, and a messy cross-onshore wind blowing at 9 mph. The combined energy is tiny (12) — don’t bother. The rest of the week keeps dribbling below 2ft, with wind either onshore or cross-onshore.

We roll all the way to September 5th, still nothing worth paddling for. The only shift in the gloom comes on the morning of the 6th. Swell is still only 0.7ft, but the wind turns light offshore from the west, so the ocean will look smooth and glassy. Still, the combined energy is only 12 — barely a ripple.

Now, Monday morning on September 7th is your real standout. Swell builds to 2ft from the northeast with a solid 9-second period, combined energy at 88 (moderate), and a clean offshore breeze out of the west-northwest. For a beach-and-reef spot like this, that’s the best you’ll get. The wave direction is close enough to the optimum east, and the conditions will be glassy. But just watch out: the afternoon goes south with a cross-onshore wind, so hit it early. Water temp is a warm 87°, about a degree warmer than usual — comfortable.

Tuesday the 8th morning isn’t bad either, with 2ft of northeast swell and light cross-offshore wind from the southwest, clean waves. But after that, it’s back to small and choppy through the 10th. Crowds happen here sometimes; with inconsistent waves this small, you’ll be doing more sitting than surfing. Honestly, through most of the run, with weak short-period swell and building wind, this setup looks better for a kite than a paddle.

In that second week, the surf is just a maybe — your best bet is that window around the 7th and 8th of September but it’s far off, so keep expectations in check.

This is Rusty, out.
