The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got on the table for Dania South Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the outlook is a tough one. The entire 16-day window is one long stretch of flat to tiny, poor-condition surf. There are no standout days, no real windows of opportunity. The combined swell energy barely gets a pulse, hovering at very weak levels (6 to 33). The swell direction is all over the place, never matching that preferred easterly direction, and the period is mostly short, choppy windswell of 4 seconds.
Things kick off on Tuesday the 25th of August with a tiny 0.3ft northeast swell and a weak 6 energy, but it's a cross-onshore ESE breeze at 12 mph making a mess of things. For the entire first week, through to the 31st, the swell never breaks 3ft. The water is sitting at a toasty 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. But that's about the only notable thing.
The wind is the real killer here. It's a constant cross-onshore or onshore breeze, mostly from the ESE or E, blowing at 9 to 16 mph. That means choppy, grovelly conditions day in and day out. There are a couple of mornings with lighter winds (6 mph), but the swell is so tiny and poor-quality that it's hardly a saving grace. Even a light breeze and small wind ripples can't polish a turd, as we say.
As we roll into the second week, starting September 1st, it's more of the same. Tiny 1.0ft to 2ft swells, short periods, and persistent onshore wind. On the morning of the 2nd, there's a brief light breeze, and the period jumps up to 12 seconds, but the swell remains tiny and the wind swings cross-onshore later. It's a tease. The energy never breaks into the moderate zone, stalling out at a weak 33 at best.
Forget any long-range hope. From the 5th of September right through to the 9th, the story doesn't change. Flukey 1.0ft to 2ft waves, onshore winds. This is a blank run, plain and simple. For a spot that's described as inconsistent, this is unfortunately normal. The setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing this period. Hang in there, y'all. Forecasts can change.
Stay safe, Rusty.
