The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. The next 16 days are looking pretty bleak for a proper surf. We’ve got a long stretch ahead with nothing much to get excited about.
We start off with Dania South Beach, and honestly, it’s a tough watch. The first recommendation is for the morning of Monday the 31st of August, but it’s grim. We’re looking at a tiny 1ft east swell, with a short period of 8 seconds. The wind is coming from the southeast at 6 mph, which is a light cross-onshore, and the whole thing is just messy. The combined wave energy is a weak 18, and the report says it’s poor surf conditions. It’s a beginner spot, and it’s inconsistent, so it’s not holding much water right now.
The whole first week is a washout. Through to the 7th of September, we’re seeing the same story: tiny swell, mostly cross-onshore or onshore winds, and scores that are all zeros. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze, but you’ll be sitting on a flat board. There’s a brief moment on the morning of Monday the 7th of September where we get a clean, offshore wind from the west at 3 mph, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3ft. It’s glassy, but there’s no wave to ride.
The pattern finally shifts a little around the 9th of September. The morning of Wednesday the 9th, we see a 1ft northeast swell with a long period of 12 seconds, and a light cross-offshore wind from the west-southwest. The combined energy is a moderate 86, and the report finally calls it “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s the best we get, and it’s still not a standout. The long period means the waves will have more shape, but it’s still tiny. The afternoon blows up with a strong cross-shore wind, which kills it.
After that, it’s back to the same old story. From the 10th of September right through to the 15th of September, we’re stuck with tiny swell, onshore winds, and poor conditions. The periods are short, the energy is low, and there’s no real push. The combined energy never gets above 76 again, and most days are in the teens or twenties.
There are no true standouts here. The only hint of a window is that Wednesday the 9th morning session, but it’s a long way off and even then, it’s a knee-high swell with a 1 out of 10 score. This is a blank run, and for a spot like Dania South Beach that’s inconsistent, it’s not that unusual. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to chase.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, and maybe dust off the longboard for a flat day paddle. This is Rusty, signing off.
