The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for this corner of the coast. I gotta be straight with you – this is one of those outlooks where you might wanna save your energy for something else. The whole 16-day window is a tough one, with no real standouts to get excited about.

We’re looking at a long, long stretch of poor surf. From the start right through to the end of the run, it’s all small, choppy, and messy. There’s not a single day where I’d tell you to rush down. The first real chance of anything even resembling a wave doesn’t show until Monday the 10th of August, and even then, it’s not pretty.

Let’s talk about Dania South Beach. This is a beach and reef setup, pretty exposed to the east, but the swell direction it really wants is from the east. The water’s about average temperature for this time of year, nothing weird there.

The first bit of the forecast is a total write-off. For the first week, from Sunday the 2nd right through to Saturday the 8th, it’s all tiny wind swell. We’re talking waves around 0.7 ft to 3 ft, with periods so short you can barely call it a wave (3 to 9 seconds). The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, from the south and east, making a mess of things. The combined wave energy is weak, barely cracking 20 or 30 (18 to 66 range), and the “poor surf conditions” tag tells the whole story. It’s either choppy, cross-shore junk or blown-out onshore slop. Not worth the board wax.

We finally see a little bump around Sunday the 9th of August, with the swell height trying to hit 3 ft from the southeast. But the period is still short (5 seconds), and the wind is a cross-onshore from the southeast, making it fairly choppy. The energy nudges up to 43, which is still weak. It’s better than nothing, but don't expect a gem.

The closest we get to a “maybe” is Monday the 10th of August. The swell picks up to 4 ft from the southeast, with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy finally gets into moderate territory at 102. But the wind is a moderate cross-onshore again, making it choppy. It’s not clean, not powerful, and for a break that’s inconsistent anyway, this isn’t the day to roll the dice. This is still poor surf.

After that, from Tuesday the 11th of August onward, it’s back to tiny, weak waves with onshore wind. It’s a real flat spell. The energy drops back down to the teens and twenties. For the rest of the window, up to Monday the 17th of August, it’s all small, weak, and messy.

Look, this break is already inconsistent, and the lack of any solid swell, good wind, or proper period means there’s nothing here for a surfer. If you absolutely had to get wet, the morning of the 10th of August has the most push, but with the cross-onshore wind, it’s going to be frustrating. For beginners, anything over 5 ft is a challenge, but we don’t even get close to that. This is a stretch for kites if you’re into that, but for a paddle surfer? It’s a hard pass.

Bottom line: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. It’s a long, flat, blown-out run. But you know how it goes around here – forecasts can change. It tends not to stay this poor forever.

Rusty.
